Surfer Girl reveals 2008 line-up of "Xbox Originals"
Butmac | 11:07 AM on 12.30.2007 38 comments


In Surfer Girl's blog today, she releases a list of games she hears will be added to the "Xbox Originals" section of Xbox Live.

Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding
Amped 2
Armed and Dangerous
Blinx: The Time Sweeper
Blinx 2: Masters of Time & Space
Blood Wake
Brute Force
Conker: Live & Reloaded
Dead or Alive 3
Deathrow
Dino Crisis 3
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Fable bonus content
Grabbed by the Ghoulies
Grand Theft Auto III
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
GunValkyrie
Halo 2
Jade Empire
Jet Set Radio Future
Mechassault
MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
Midtown Madness 3
Ninja Gaiden
Quantum Redshift
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Phantom Dust Rent-A-Hero No. 1
Sneakers
Shenmue II
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
Stubbs the Zombie in "Rebel Without a Pulse"
Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus
ToeJam & Earl III: Mission to Earth
Tork: Prehistoric Punk
Voodoo Vince
Whacked!

WOW! If that doesn't cover every single big tim Xbox game that is worth playing then I don't know what they missed (though I'm sure you people will let me know).

Now obviously the BIG inclusion here is Sneakers. This is a game that was exclusively available only at Toys R Us and now ANYONE can download it. This would be just breaking if it is true.

Ok, but really, all three GTA's, Jade Empire, KOTOR, Ninja Gaiden, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Deathrow, and Conker? For someone who didn't own the Xbox I'm pretty excited to play some of these (if they aren't already supported BC on the 360).

Her blog says that there will be 100 titles by the end of 2008 on "Xbox Originals"

I could go buy all three GTA's right now for the cost of two of these originals. I'm fine thanks.

I've pondered buying San Andreas again since I haven't played it in awhile, but... I don't know if I wanna go through the 15+ hours of gameplay just to open up the whole state again.

JSRF, though... eh... Anyone know where I could find it used?
It's gotta be like $5 now.

I'd download KOTOR. I heard good things.

Wow. This would be nice, but I'm still not paying 15 bucks for what I can get for 5 at a Gamestop. Deathrow, Conker Live & Reloaded, and the three GTAs all strike me. But for that price, and the fact that that'll take up half my HD...not so sure.

I'm pretty sure every gamestop should have this for 2$ or so. It's also very cheap on goozex.

Awesome lineup. I just wish my 360's hard drive could hold more than three or four of these.

Metal Arms, Armed and Dangerous, both awesome!
So are many others that already got mentioned, but I thought those two deserved some love.
And Guagloves is right. BG&E plz.

This is the point where I say that Xbox Originals make no sense. No achievements. No additional features at all. Broken menus. Not to mention that outside of several games everything on Xbox originals is already backwards compatible with the 360.

I worry that the Xbox Originals bullshit will distract Microsoft from updating the back-compat list. We'll see if that fear is unfounded soon.

I'm really surprised so many people like Jet Set Radio Future. I thought that game was awful.

I would check out Jade Empire though, because I missed that the first time through. Maybe Panzer Dragoon and Voodoo Vince as well.

Ummm why exactly is this exciting news?? You should have the good titles in your collection already.

The only thing remotely interesting that hasn't been mentioned is will Deathrow support Xbox LIVE multiplayer. If it does now THAT would be something of a newsflash from our residential Nostradamus Surfergirl.

That's seems like a pretty good list. Still, I'm not sure what the hell Voodoo Vince is doing there.

yeah i know.. but it will be noticed by new gamers since its on the live arcade which will hopefully attract more people to play/buy the game for a better chance of Shenmue III

I understand everyone's gripes about how you can go to Gamestop and find a lot of these games for under $5, but really, who cares?

The fact that the service exists is great. Especially for some titles that could be potentially hard to find at local stores. And lets be honest, the majority of us Dtoiders would not be considered casual gamers. I love the fact that there are casual gamers out there who may be discovering games like Psychonauts, Indigo Prophecy and JSRF.
