We wanted to be up and ready to tell you the exact moment, it was available for download on Xbox live. It's here, it's free and it's ready to be downloaded RIGHT NOW! (: The soon to be announced record breaking XBLA game Texas Hold 'em! Click read more for more info on this game like achievements..
Microsoft continues to roll out new backward compatible games on Xbox One. Today marks another three joining the service.
Headlining the bunch is Sega’s brightly colored subversive skate game, Jet Set Radio. Originally released on the Dreamcast, it got a new lease on life as an Xbox Live Arcade game.
I would really like to see Mark of the Ninja getting added to the BC list, as well as the Project Gotham Racing games, Ninja Gaiden Black, Trials Evo, Dirt 2, and a few others...
Jet Set Radio Future on the original Xbox is better to me because it's faster, there's more platforming and it's not so incredibly hard. The Dreamcast game still has a great art style though.
Xbox and Sega are playing with my emotions. Seriously...no Sonic All Star Racing Transformed?? But yet Sega would authorize...Sonic The Fighters...
Console Monster writes: "The 9th September has arrived, along with the first downloadable content for the newly-released: The Beatles: Rock Band. Only one Arcade title releases today, after an error with Wallace and Gromit in Last Resort and there's some Game Add-ons for Texas Hold 'em and Buku Sudoku. Here is the full Xbox Live Marketplace update for Wednesday 9th September 2009:
Sonic & Knuckles
Price: 400 Microsoft Points (Free Trial available)
Size: 29 MB
The blue hedgehog and the red echidna were sworn adversaries in Sonic 3, but in this platform adventure, Knuckles realises that he's been just a pawn in the schemes of Dr. Eggman (AKA Dr. Robotnik). Knuckles, the former adversary now supports Sonic to chase the common enemy, and each must use their strengths in order to acquire the priceless Master Emerald and save Angel Island. This game requires the Xbox 360 hard drive or the 512MB Memory Unit for storage..."
For those of you headed to PAX, here's a fun way to win some serious goodies:
Poker fans that are planning on attending PAX should register for the Xbox LIVE Indie Games Texas Hold 'em Tournament, taking place at booth #141 on Saturday at Noon. Everyone selected to participate in the contest will receive a Zune Digital Media Player. The Grand Prize winner will receive an Xbox 360, a Zune, and other swag like a t-shirt, soccer jersey and assorted Xbox 360 games.
Cool, I have downloaded it, it took less than five minutes. And free, xbox 360 rules
I looked up and had played for an hour. Dangerous.
They need to add commas to the amounts, though. 20000 and 200000 look awfully similar without commas.
The download is only free for the first 48 hrs. which began at 4am Eastern time or 1am Pacific time. That means you only have till those times on Friday morning so you better hurry unless you want to spend the 800 points.
Got it early this morning and played a game or two (was late for work)
VERY NICE MS.
