@Karlott:
Thats the cs_office map in Counter Strike Source... though, the G-Man with funny expression was probably something done with Garry's Mod.

I got this game for free when I reserved the orange box, its alright but is it worth buying? Not really. =(

SanjiX

@Scazza: Do you really, really, REALLY want to play Goldeneye in a world where we have Halo 3 (among other console FPS games that are infinitely better, despite fewer overly glorified memories)? Oh, I'm sure it'd sell and I'm sure people would play it. But that wouldn't make them any less psychotic.

Grave

Why do I hear Beavis' laugh (from Beavis & Butthead) coming out of G-Man in that pic?

Captain Impulse

Did that picture just ruin HL2 for me.... only time will tell.

Bluur

Although not the most reliable site for info as far as I know, [xboxevolved.e-mpire.com] has a little piece speculating that Goldeneye is coming to XBLA, would be a dream...

Scazza

Ultra Bust-a-Move? Awesome! That's one of three games I'd download if it ever showed up as an Xbox Original (the other two being Fatal Frame 2 and Marvel vs Capcom 2). Now, if only I knew what Peggle is. I have to admit I've never even heard of it until now.

josh924

He is enjoying the game a little too much in that picture. One has to wonder what his right hand is doing.

wildfire759

Bust a Move's coming and all you care about is Peggle?

Failure

PirateThom

Oh great time for nightmares!

Andrew831

YESS. Peggle.

myd12

I never saw the attraction of peggle but I hope bust-a-move doesn't come out last time I played bust-a-move I had to have an intervention...

mysteryboy2k

i like his beefy computer.

bassitic_grunge

lol yay Garry's Mod.

plantationace

Scary is all I have to say. Not since the Marksmen spider incident did I feel a bit uncomfortable.

goldwings

*shudders*

That guy is one scary-lookin' mutha.

Fierfaerie

I need to know details of that picture. Not because of the creepy looking polygon guy, but because of that "Beefy Computer" in the background. It looks EXACTLY like the old Dell tower I had as a loaner for a whlie, and it weight about 2.8 tons. So the fact it says "Beefy" on the side made me laugh hysterically.

@Krytha:

EnigmaNemesis

The G-man is terrifying when he is enjoying himself....

That didn't come out right.

Gah! Stop!

Krytha

I would gladly pay for even more Orange Box-skinned Peggle. I wish I was kidding.

Granted, Master Hu's still pretty good on his own. I'm just saying.

Grave

Wow, XBLA is going to have a bitchin year so far!!!

@XbhaskarX:

/agree

EnigmaNemesis

XBLA is quickly becoming my favorite part of the 360.

XbhaskarX

Holy crap that picture scared the hell out of me.

EightBit

Holy cow, that G-Man just gives me the creeps everytime I see him do something NORMAL. And I was about to go play some Orange Box HL2 as well. ;___;
As for XBLA games, most of the games offered so far aren't my cup of tea besides Puzzle Fighter and SOTN, both which I have from PSN since I'm more accustomed to the PS controller for those games in the first place. Does the Live outtage affect downloading/ buying XBLA games? I've never done it before, and all I have is Gold Subscription and no points.

DELICIOUS_BUNNY

bah ...

The great thing about Peggle is that at first you think it's mostly luck. But after playing for a while you begin to realize that by choosing the correct character for a level and actually examining the level itself to plan your shots, there is a good amount of skill involved. Luck will always play a part but careful planning can get you some pretty high scores.

TakoChimp

Btw I had no idea what peggle was until now...

Mr. Plunkett you have just damned a man...

:D

Witzbold

G-Man confirmed as a sexual predator!

I always knew he had that pedo-smile going on there.

Witzbold

PEGGLE! Am I mad enough to own it on a third format? I think so.

Seniath

Dammit Luke I'm gonna have G-Man nightmares now. Thanks.

@cdammers: And I think the XBLA pricing is far more reasonable than that of the Virtual Console. Especially since XBLA re-release offer more than the VC counterparts. Playing Streets of Rage 2 with my buddy that I've been playing it with 14 (?) years ago, but now over a distance of 500 kliometers is just pure genius.

FranUnFine

I don't understand why people are still so down on XBLA. Yes, it was mostly crap for the first year, and Microsoft made a lot of promises that they couldn't keep. But there are a ton of great games on there now - ports and original IP - and I play XBLA titles almost as often as I play "proper" games. And you get to try them all for free, so you're never going to be ripped off. The only downer I can see is that online usually sucks.

cdammers

Hey all,
That picture has been taken from our site here: [www.rockpapershotgun.com]
Obviously RPS is unrelated to this story, so we don't expect any kind of namecheck, but it's a real shame that Kotaku haven't given any credit to Dartt (www.darttweb.co.uk), the reader who created this great image.

RockPaperShotgun

Hmm... hopefully it opens the door for Bookworm Adventures.

PositivelyGreg

I was literally about to buy it for the PC. I've been off work ill for the last 5 days and would have some stir crazy without pegggle.

It's incredible how a nasty flu affects your abilities to play 'proper' games. Not fast enough to play CoD4 and headaches too bad prevent me from finishing Mario.

I'm sure I can hang fire for the achievements and big screen ness

NecronomiconUK

Bust-A-Move is one of the greatest most addictive games ever. Especially in multi-player.

suburbancowboy

mother of god, why they gotta distribute crack on XBL?

gadgetron

I really hope Ultra Bust a Move isn't the Xbox original because $15 is too steep compared to standard XBLA pricing, not to mention the art was horrible in that one. I've been craving a proper XBLA version from the start!

eastx

Crud. I finally gave in last week and bought it from the popcap site for the Mac for $20. And it will probably be only $10 on XBLA AND have achievements. I have to say I will be tempted to buy it again. It's kind of cracktastic.

lionkitten

I think most of us knew that this game was coming to XBLA before it was even announced. I mean, its already on the iPod. Its about as much as much of a no-brainer as a Diner Dash port.

BigDanG

@lionkitten: Or... you could've gotten it for $7 at Big Fish.

7ucky

Peggle... Achievements....
*salvates*

Seriously, as one the most successful PC casual games, it makes perfect sense for it to be coming to XBLA.

Zeouterlimits

@Grave: Exactly. I dusted off the old 64 to play it again, and promptly returned the dust to it's origional position and locked it away forever. I should have stuck with my wonderful memories from childhood instead of jading them by playing it again.

*sigh*

Amsterdaam

What in Grown Man Nipples is Peggle???

DARTH_TIGRIS

Ultra Extreme Fever!
I don't believe I need to say any more.

MajorMcMuffin

@RockPaperShotgun: Thanks for pointing that out sir. I like to see credit where credit is due. Especially in the case of this article in which most of the comments seem to be about the picture and not the game.

BornToFlail

I nearly shat myself when I saw that guy.

CyberSkull

Two words and a punctuation mark: Hell Yes!

Reluctant-Hero

NEver heard of this game before!!!!!!???!?!?!??!?!?!

Awesome picture.
