Rumortoid Smash: Conker, Jade Empire not coming to 360, I'm also bad at math

Rumortoid Smash: Conker, Jade Empire not coming to 360, I'm also bad at math photo
     Microsoft

Recently, we brought word that Xbox titles Conker Live & Reloaded and Jade Empire may be making their way to Xbox LIVE Marketplace in the form of Xbox Originals. This was based on assets for the games "mysteriously" appearing on a public Microsoft press FTP; we put two and two together, and came up with 17. (Yes, I know I'm not good at math ... thanks to everyone who pointed this out.)

It seems we might have made an "ass" out of "u" and "me," as the truth isn't quite as exciting as you'd hope. Trivia Web site Kwanzoo's Tom McShea clears things up a bit for us, and at the same time ruins the hopes and dreams of Rare and BioWare fans across the 'net.

As Tom tells us, Kwanzoo will be launching a videogame trivia section in a few weeks. Tom says he contacted their Microsoft PR rep for some images of a few older titles, which were then placed on the server. Bottom line: Nothing to see here; move along. 

"Here's a warning," adds Tom, "though Grabbed by the Ghoulies will most likely have images added to their server, this does not indicate that they will ever release this cult hit on XBLA. It just means I wrote trivia for this colossal bomb."

Hey, I kind of liked that game, thank you very much.

Hey, I LOVE Grabbed by the Ghoulies; it's one of my favorite games, and I'm ready to kill for a sequel if need be. Hope it comes to XBLA soon. GbtG bombed on the Xbox because, well, it didn't have tits and guns in it. It might be able to really become a cult hit through XBLA. Anyway, I hope Conker comes soon, at least...

I'm guessing Nick's computer can only run XP if it looks like that.

lol @ Kamikaze.

Dude! I totally suck at math. And I'm like, I feel bad, cause I'm a girl, who likes computers and video games, and other geeky things and I'm surrounded my math nerds all the time. I feel like I should rep-a-sent. But I don't. I just keep writing my short stories and hope no one will notice. Tis the sad life of an English major. Also, that game news was interesting (<----- did not actually read the game news).

Looks like Nick's computer is the only one here that actually has a working operating system. Well, except for maybe Puppetpallmich.

I should probably go back and check out Grabbed by the Ghoulies sometime. I'm sure it's got to be dirt-cheap by now.

too bad these games aren't coming out is what I'm thinking, but my wallet is pretty glad, its spared from another assraping to get M$-points...

btw they seriously should've taken another name for those... like 360-points or so... now everybody at work thinks I 'BUY' coolness-points within M$ whenever I mention these...

Um, is there going to be a backwards compatibility update that let's you play Conker Live & Reloaded on the 360? Just thought I'd see if there's any positive in there......

Also, I saw in that picture that Kamikaze Tutor mentioned Panzer Dragoon Orta...... you can find that game for 7 bucks at Gamestop. Do it before MS charges you 15 bucks and take up 4gb of your hard drive.
