Question of the Day, January 7, 2011



Starting in February, Microsoft will be releasing five new games on Xbox Live Arcade as part of its "House Party." [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/106704-XBLA-Organizes-House-Party-With-Torchlight-Beyond-Good-Evil-HD] Which are you most looking forward to?

The Beyond Good & Evil HD-fication. Not that I'll buy it, I'll be waiting for discounts to spend a spare 400 MSP points on, but, out of those, it's really a game I would want to experience.

People say the game's pretty good, I see no reason not to try it out.

That Contra thing, Hard Corps, is pretty exciting, too.

If I had a 360 and live I'd really want Beyond Good & Evil HD... really, really, badly...

 

[C2Ultima]

Never heard of any of them. Let's see.

EDIT: Torchlight I'd say.

 

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

Beyond Good and Evil HD by far!

A close second is Torchlight.

 

[Ghengis John]

I'm tired of hearing about Full House Poker, when is Charles in Charge Blackjack hitting XBLA?

 

[Virgil]

Choosing between Torchlight and Beyond Good & Evil is a tough call. I'm going with Torchlight, because the game appears to have gotten some nice upgrades since it's PC debut, while BG&E is only a visual update. I'll definitely be getting both though

 

[fix-the-spade]

BG'n'E!!!

I only rented it when it first came out, I regret that.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Torchlight definatly. I can't wait to try it out, it looks great!

 

[Ranchcroutons]

Glad to see Beyond Good and Evil getting proper recognition. I probably still wont buy it though since I lack an HD tv

 

[GeorgW]

Isn't Beyond good and evil coming out in hard copy as well? I'd rather buy that. But if not, that one. But I'll wait for a discount.

 

[coldfrog]

It would be Torchlight, but I'm so used to the PC controls I'm not sure I could handle it, because there's NO way I could treat it as a new game. Thus, by default it has to go to an updated Beyond Good and Evil. I just hope it looks as good as the old, and maybe even cuts back on some of the loading times from before? it wasn't bad before, really, but even with updated graphics, I think this can still cut down on some of those. Just cause I'm impatient.

Oh, and for the record, as long as I have Poker Night at the Inventory, I don't need any more poker games thank you

 

[Zero_ctrl]

I already have Torchlight, so I'm gonna have to go with BG&E.
Damn good game.

 

[spartan1077]

I was going to say none but I guess I'll pick Torchlight because it was fun for a while...

 

[Slaanax]

I chose Beyond Good and evil only because of the review of the game I read on this site.

 

[Abedeus]

Wait, BG&E in HD? I watched the trailer... seems exactly the same as on PC.

 

[Danpascooch]

Why isn't there a "vomit blood" option?

EDIT: Beyond good and evil? HOLY SHIT!

 

[Karacan]

Despite BG&E - which I loved in it's original version so much -, I'd have loved to have a "Uh, what?"-option to vote.

Just for choice. BG&E it is, of course - can't wait to see it it in HD.

 

[Syphous]

I would have said Torchlight if the XBLA version had co-op, but since it's only SP like the PC version, I'm going with BG&E HD.

 

[Woggles]

Just like with many other Questions of the Day this one lacks the "None" response. =E
