BlowOut now an Xbox Original, yay?

by Dustin Burg on Jan 19th 2009 11:00AM

Sure to cause a reverberation of yawns on a grand scale that has never been seen before, ~~we're pleased~~ it's our obligation to announce that BlowOut has officially become an Xbox Original and can be purchased from the Xbox Live Marketplace. For 1200 Microsoft points and approximately 385MBs, no less.

So ... anyone up for a game of BlowOut? Anyone? No really ... anyone?

Nope i want our backward compatibility for The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay.

Why? It's being re-released on 360.

The one you talking about is The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena

While it's called Assault on Dark Athena, it's still a remake of Escape from Butcher Bay with updated graphics and gameplay as well as a new single player "campaign" (which I assume is the Assault on Dark Athena part).

Alex is right. Its called, Dark Athena but it includes "Escape from Butcher Bay" as well as the new "Dark Athena" campaign. So essentially, your getting it all with updated graphics. So two games for the price of one. When its released.

You meant i was right the first time i just didn't know they put two games on it that's cool.

The devs already said it was impossible to do with backwards compatibility on the 360, that's why they're porting it.

Yeah! what the hell is up with this crap!
It started up good with a good selection of xbox originals....but now they are just releasing crap!
There are far more better games that deserve to be made xbox originals....mhmmm...lets say the super awesome Star Wars Battlefront I & II, etc. anyone agree?

Wasn't this posted last week?

Yeah. But this is the post saying it is now officially up.

Glad they let us know. This is important.

Anyone gonna take the plunge on this one?

I remember this game being ten dollars when it was released.....now it's fifteen? WTF

Blow who now?

Why is MS doing this to themselves? Are these the games that they want to represent the original Xbox?

The Xbox was one of my favorite systems of all time, but if I had never played it and I saw some of these Xbox originals that they've been coming out with recently, I'd think the system was a piece of crap.

The Xbox is one of your favorite systems but you've never played it... huh?

I agree with you bro like i said before MS has no love for us fans.you know what would be funny if MS did release The Chronicles of Riddick on XBox Original marketplace instead of the backward compatibility first if they do that i would really hate them for life.

Reading comprehension ftw, Ossoona!

And yeah, really tho. MS should be putting all the successful originals on the marketplace. I miss playing Panzer Dragoon Orta, Otogi 1 & 2.

Yeah, Blessed Ossoona, you might want to take a reading class or something.

he is saying IF he had never played it

Xbox Division is getting a bit cocky lately. They need to either port Xbox originals, so they can be used on Live and have achievements, or if they are just going to use emulation, they better lower the price BIG TIME.

Seriously, WTF Xbox Division?

I am going to buy this one now. Like as in NOW.

Oh whom am i kiddin...

I just wish the guys down at microsoft would take a look at the list of top selling xbox games and put them on there....

Like Morrowind....

still waiting for halo 2......

Ditto. That and Freedom Fighters

I want Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath!

I second that!

Holy shit. The way the guy walks was a turn-off for me.

What did they wanted this game to be like? Contra?

So if he walked different you'd be turned on?

People on the internet and their weird sexual preferences...

I'd have such a raging hard on that a world that is millions of light years away would feel the shock wave of my throbbing member.

It's ashame these games don't offer demo's. Blowout wasn't that bad of a game for anyone who likes side-scroller, shoot em ups.

Having said that, 1200 points is way too much. I paid $10 for it on Gamecube about a year after it came out. And it was released (if memory serves me) at a budget price of $19.99.

actually, it released in 2003 at $9.99. So it makes perfect snese for MS to not only throw this horrible game on XBL, but for $15

I'm still waiting for Gauntlet Dark Legacy. I know it wasn't a very popular title to many it was & still is a classic. We need more multiplayer games like this...

It makes NO sense why they choose titles like these. *sigh*

I remember when this game came out it seemed to have a ton of potential. Looked like lots of fun. Played like shit though! I wouldn't mind seeing another game come out based on the same concept but it just needs to not suck.

Ok so I guess I was mistaken. I was thinking of Flat Out (the shitty racing game). I don't know wtf this is...

Wow. There was so many good XBOX games. Why are they choosing these crap ones that no one has ever heard of? And seriously, they should be working harder on getting Goldeneye on the 360

Maybe its a test to see if a crappy game (not sure if it is or not) that no ones ever heard of (I have no facts on this matter) will still sell or not in some kind of economical experiment (I have no experience in the global economy and no current knowledge of scientific experimentation).
