[Quel'Dorei]

Is anyone going to buy any of these?


I think Im going to buy Crimson Skies, depending on if some other people want to get it. I loved playing this online back in the day.

Current Games Avaliable:

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
Fable
Fuzion Frenzy
Halo: Combat Evolved
Indigo Prophecy
Psychonauts

The only xbox game I really wanted for xbox, was the xbox version of Shenmue II. (Though I already had the better version for Dreamcast.) So I don't really know if I'll buy any xbox original games. What must have games will be released for XBLA? I like RPG games as you know, and I have already played Jade empire and Fable.

“Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex” “Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge,” “Halo,” “Fable,” “Fuzion Frenzy,” “Psychonauts,” at 1200 Microsoft Points per game.

Psychonauts is looking to be a must-buy for me. Maybe I'll buy it as a birthday present to myself this weekend.

Mass Effect is better than Both Fable and Jade Empire.

Out of those, possibly "Indigo Prophecy", because of all the fuss that gets made about it, but I think the best game they could offer on that service is Kung Fu Chaos, especially since it's staggeringly entertaining and hasn't been made compatible yet, with Xbox 360.

I think the company that made KFC said they no longer wish to work with Microsoft. THey recently made Heavenly Sword. I'd like to see KFC for the Originals, but I dont think it'll happen soon.

If I didn't have Psychonauts for PS2 I'd get this version. I heard it runs much better. Otherwise I have all the games that intrest me on that list.

Really, I just want to play MGS2 on my 360 :)

Wow... Indigo Prophecy and Psychonauts are totally worth it... but anyone know how big the games are?

[cubeenigma]

FREE THEMES AND GAMERPICS BASED OFF THESE GAMES FTW :p

[Quel'Dorei]

The games wont be bigger than 2 GB.

[Blinger101]

Fusion Frenzy is a must for me.

[HGW XX/7]

I think I'd rather buy them used for about half the price.

[Delvano-AMN]

Indigo Prophecy?! OH MY LORD. I'm going to purchase a point card right now. That game is most likely my favorite game of all time, because it is blatantly not a game; its merely an interactive movie.

And that's why I don't like buying the game as downloadable content. There's always licensing issues that prevent a consoles entire library from ever being available again. Instead we get stuck with "best of" compilations chosen from the titles that are legally easiest to acquire.

Seeing as Microsoft is all but through with backwards-compatibility, I'm pretty much obligated not to support this feature.

The games wont be bigger than 2 GB.

Unfortunately, this isn't the case

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex - 985MB
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge - 4.1GB
Fable - 3.2GB
Fuzion Frenzy - 1.9GB
Halo: Combat Evolved - 2.3GB
Psychonauts - 5.3GB
Fahrenheit - 3.1GB
Indigo Prophecy - ???


12GB of HD is poo. I'm gonna need a 120GB if I ever plan on getting any of these (Psychonauts was on my list too!).

[Quel'Dorei]

Major Nelson Lied :(

Ill have to get the 120gb sometime this month.

[John35]

Seems like some of these new features weren't as well thought out as they could have been. Not only do we have the example above (HDD space issues), but among others would be the lack of ability to chat while playing an original Xbox game. Sounds a bit Nintendoish to me.

[Quel'Dorei]

Im sorry, but these arent Playstation or NES games. THeyre big. Deal with it.

[John35]

Don't make excuses for MS just because you have nothing to play on Wii now.

What excuse. Theyre xbox games, therefore they arent going to be small. And if space is an issue then theres the option for a bigger HDD. Not my fault if I downloaded 5 gamerpictures the Wii would be filled up.

[HGW XX/7]

^The problem isn't space, it's the fact that they still screw you. "Give us $15 to download a game you can buy used for $5." It wouldn't be a problem if they changed the coding so you could still use your XBOX 360 dashboard for talkin' and all that. Instead it's like you're playing an XBOX game.

[Quel'Dorei]

Thats why theyre called Xbox Originals.

And where are you getting your used games, cause EB games doesnt sell em cheaper than 10-15 dollars here.

[HGW XX/7]

^My local Game Crazy's and Gamestops have blowouts of these games.
