12/2/10: Dark Falls on San Francisco
Microsoft's X10 event is underway in 'San Fran', as we're assured they call it, and the first playable showing of Perfect Dark's Xbox Live Arcade incarnation is earning a good share of the media coverage. |
|
While you're ransacking the internet in pursuit of that coverage, check out the five new shots released to mark the occasion in our PD XBLA Images section, and the first official trailer available to watch via our Movie Player. The game's xbox.com page is also worth staking out for updates. That confirmed March launch is just around the corner... |

8/2/10: All-Stars' Debut Dash
Due up today on Xbox Live Marketplace: the official Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing demo! And the main reason for us lot here at Rare to get all excited about it: playable Banjo and Kazooie! FACT.
Yes, not only are Banjo and Kazooie set to appear in the final Xbox 360 version of the game, as of today you'll be able to get an early feel for the spin of their wheels by downloading the free demo. It's the first incidence of playable Banjo and Kazooie since Nuts & Bolts (or Banjo-Tooie on XBLA if you want to be picky) so it's definitely worth franchise fans seizing this opportunity with both hairy paws.
The Rare bear-bird pairing is one of the demo's only two playable racers, the other being Sonic, naturally; also offered is two-player split-screen racing against not-yet-playable characters such as Shadow, Knuckles, Amigo, Ryo, Beat and absurdly happy chicken-boy Billy Hatcher over a full three laps of the Seaside Hill – Lost Palace track.
To surrender to the onset of furious emotion you must be experiencing and queue the demo for download to your 360 right now, use this Marketplace link (an All-Stars Racing premium theme is now available too). And while you're waiting to get racing you could always scour xbox.com and your Xbox 360 dashboard for further coverage. Enjoy! |
