AAG's Tyler Chancey writes: "Beyond Good and Evil is the newest addition to the recurring trend of “HD” remakes of old popular franchises from the last console generation. Having not experienced the game back when it was on the GameCube and Xbox respectively and have heard of its cult following despite an overall mixed reception back in the day, I was cautiously optimistic at its potential. That being said, the hardest thing about reviewing an old game is whether or not you review it compared to what came out originally or do you hold it up by today’s standards as a downloadable title. The answer is a little bit of both."

Where's number 2?! They show a cinematic teaser and then it just falls off the edges like it never happened. I liked this game and I want to know that the sequel still exists..

not sure what happened to #2. rumor has it there might be a deal in place with nintendo.
Neil writes "We're here yet again with the latest free Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles ready to be thrust upon us. But in a period that sees few new games released, the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for August could well be the big hitting feature that Xbox One and Xbox 360 players looking for a new game rely on. That combination therefore leaves the door wide open for the scheme to deliver a cracking set of free titles."
Positive side for you is once you get the digital version you can lose the disc plus no download wait
Last time I played a wrestling game was on Super Nintendo no lie, but with this being gold it looks really fun to try out.
Good for me as I've never played any of the games being offered this month.
Edit: that was a lie, I played BG&E on OGXbox.
I'm going to get some mileage out of everything but Spelunky. I've played that in so many variations. I realized when I started Spelunky World online for PS4 that I simply cannot plant another bomb without blacking out. I have not played a wrestling game since the last wwe game on PS2. I'm excited to see how far things have come. Solid month for me.
MajorNelson:
For the month of August, Xbox Live Gold members will receive four new free games - two on Xbox One and two on Xbox 360 - as part of the Games with Gold program.
On Xbox One, Xbox Live Gold members can download WARRIORS OROCHI 3 Ultimate ($59.99 ERP) for free during the month of August. WWE 2K16 ($39.99 ERP) will be available as a free download from August 16th to September 15th.
I don't understand people who don't purchase the free games anyway. You don't have to DL to your HD and you'll always have the games in your library. I never know who is going to come over and what games they'll like. I even DL the kids games for when company comes over. To each their own. ON top of that it''s BC on xbox, if you buy a Scorpio it'll be there, no reason not to purchase the game. You don't make sense.
What don't you understand?
I said I'll download 3 and no reason to download Spelunky because I already have it?
What's the point of downloading when I can fire up my ps4 to play it?
Why does it bother you that much?
Well it makes sense, if one day your xbox or PS4 breaks down you can still play the game. Another bonus is that if you decide to stop paying for psn+ and XBL, you can still play it on xb1
Nice Selection for the month of August imo.I played BG&E back on the original Xbox and I'm not a big fan of the WWE games but I'm gonna download both anyways also I'm really eager to try out Warriors O and Spelunky.
I've heard allot from Beyond Good and Evil I'll have to try it. Warriors Orochi 3 and WWE 216 are definite downloads very hot month for me.
BG&E is a blast. I finished it back then and I'm looking forward to another playthrough thanks to BC & GWG. I'm eager to try out Warriors Orochi 3. I havent played a wresting game in years but I'll give WWE 2K16 a spin.
I also wanna point out 3 million downloads for The Crew. http://www.gamespot.com/art... 8 million now. Hopefully, Beyond Good And Evil gets maybe half that downloads. Im thinking the sequel could possibly get announced next year at E3 using the HD remake to garner attention and hype, but then again thats a looooong stretch. I've never played BG&E and I'm more than willing to give it a try and hopefully turn me into a hardcore fan.
Awww YEYAH!!
Just bought a month's-worth of Gold last night - mostly so I could get The Banner Saga 2, but I'm gonna be getting some serious value out of August's line-up... always meant to play Beyond Good and Evil, but kept forgetting it existed and I'll definitely check out the other games - I hear Spelunky's great and it's been well over a decade since I last dished-out a virtual smackdown!
Anyone know if Mick Foley, Mankind or Cactus Jack are still alive?
A great Monday Night Raw judging by Monday's show after Battleground. #BalorClub!
I got to meet him! He did a show in my hometown for the fort mcmurray fires.he was awesome!
If those 8 people are disagreeing based on your question they deserve to choke on a Mandible Claw with Socko down their gullets.
I want Strangers Wrath on my PS3. Why did the turds have to push it back just to HD up the eternally shit Munch's Odysee & release it with Wrath, Abe Odysee, & Exodus as a compilation. Damn fuckers, just give me Strangers Wrath, as the 1st 2 are already available on PSN, Munch is a game that Munch's Elton John's faggity ass, & that leaves Strangers Wrath as the only worthwhile addition to the family. It should have been released AS SOON AS PSN is back up & running ready for me to buy with no media bred fear of using my credit card again over PSN, or a PSN card for others interested, but understandibly fearful of being ripped off.
