It's now up and as great as ever... but where is the promised native widescreen? I still have to stretch it...

[stezo2k]

Woo :D that was quick. SOTN is out and weighs 95.32MB, cant wait to try it

[neoadorable]

zzzzzzzz. wake me up when Double Dragon or Cabal get here.

[FreqFace]

I'm waiting for some proper 3D games, like ports from the PS1 or N64 maybe. I've said it before, Banjo-Kazooie or Goldeneye would own... but probably never gonna happen. Odd, since MS own Rare.

[TheFlusher]

thats right..goldeneye 007 on live multiplayer...ooooh it'd be awesome, that is if MS does it.

GE probably wont be released as i heard Nintendo still own some of the rights, plus it will probably need to get the rights again from the film company if the game is modified

Banjo is looking unlikely as theres a sequel around the corner, but you never know. They might release it after if they ever do

Rare's Jetpac Refuelled Next Weeks Release (Weds, March 28th)

March 23, 2007 - Jetpac Refuelled, a remastering of Rare's first game, is coming to Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday, March 28. Created in 1983 under Rare's early company name of Ultimate Play the Game, Jetpac puts you in the role of a test pilot for the Acme Interstellar Transport Company. Your goal is to deliver and then assemble Spaceship Kits on a variety of planets while battling the hostile inhabitants.

Refuelled includes swank hi-def graphics, powerful new smartbombs to quickly lay waste to the attacking alien hordes, 200 Achievement Points just waiting to be earned and 128 new levels to master. The classic version, with all 16 levels intact, is available from the game menu.

Source: IGN (has a nice gameplay video)

From the video on the page above I linked to, it ooks like it supports two player, hopefully through CoOp, and has a very stylized look and feel to it. Definitely going to give it a free whirl for sure, and it appears it may be a buyer.

[stanley porkchop]

Looks like an impressive update to an already good game (Y)

[neoadorable]

nooooooooooooooooo!!!! I need something for the old coin op fix. wasn't Jetpac a c64 or Atari game?

[PL_ Veteran]

Added Jetpac

[NeoTrunks]

You won't know the difference. This is a pretty fun game and it feels very coin-opish.

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

is goldeneye ready yet?

(laughs to himself...)

[dnast]

*laughs with lyle* :p

[neoadorable]

cion opish? COIN OPISH? i need the real mccoy bud! oh well, i guess it is a legacy title...

[NeoTrunks]

Did I just coin a term? Yay for me :D

[JAbad28]

thats right..goldeneye 007 on live multiplayer...ooooh it'd be awesome, that is if MS does it.

Definitely agree, I would be playing that all the time, one of the greatest games. They should really release one.

[LightIdea]

Where in gods name is Double Dragon?!

(and Commander Keen..... heh)

[neoadorable]

see, echnoise agrees, we are all feeling copi opish. it is certainly a term, and you coined it alright. pun intended?

as for double dragon, they promised it and i was under the impression it was forthcoming. hope there's no holdup.

[MadFerIt]

Hey guys since my DVD-ROM is broken on my 360, been forced to rely on Xbox Live Arcade/demos lol.

But anyway, I recommend that all of you at least download/play the demo of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Why? It's one of the greatest video games ever. They do the game great justice with this port, and everything you would find in the PSX version is included, as well as filters to make the game more visually impressive.

[FreqFace]

(laughs to himself...)

Don't even joke about it.

*drools*

[MadFerIt]

Don't even joke about it.

*drools*

My friend is going ape-**** for a Perfect Dark arcade port lol, but I have to say if they put Goldeneye in, that'll be even better for me personally lol.

I've been playing it and it is a lot of fun. The gameplay has really improved from Castlevania 1, 2, and 3. Plus it features my favorite character from Castlevania 3, Alucard. It also bares a striking resemblance with the Metroid series (the 2d ones) in both level layout and item collecting.

Cool game!

I wish there was a widescreen mode though :(. You can stretch the image, so at least they give you some options, but I sure would like to see a little more to the left and right while utilizing my full screen ;). Somehow I doubt there will be any update to add full widescreen support.

I guess I've only ever played multi-player Goldeneye. Played it a bunch of times and got pretty good at it. Still liked games like Quake more :p.
