I am gonna go F-CKING BERSERK if they don't add Otogi 1 and 2 soon

>.<

MattyF6728d ago

Otogi was a fun game and they keep picking games no one bough for these updates. Really, Zathura? Come on.

Twohype6728d ago

This update seems to add more games that were listed. Botttomline NFL 2K5 (one of the best NFL Football of all time) works perfect now! THANK GOD, no more MAdden for me

Skerj6728d ago

Dude I just came here and I was gonna be like "WTF@Otogi" and there it is, you guys said the same thing. Seriously wth indeed, Phantom Dust, Panzer Dragoon, and Jet Set Radio made it, I have no idea what's taking them so long with this one. The previous 3 look GORGEOUS upscaled especially Phantom Dust and Panzer Dragoon.

Now every Xbox game i have is BC.

mighty_douche6728d ago

backward compatibility to me, is just backwards. im more interested in whats infront, not behind.

Hugh Hefner6728d ago

I am certain you were saying otherwise before the 40g PS3 was released.

jaja14346728d ago

Yes because have only 1 box with 2 wires is not preferred over 2 boxes with 4 wires. Big deal? No but handy.

GrizAdams6728d ago

It would be helpful if next time you just linked to the the original source.

hmmm kind of lackluster, unless you love older sports games.
Oh well. maybe ill pick up that indiana jones game. Good to see Armed and Dangerous. But where is Bards Tale, Beyond Good and Evil. and the rest ofPrince of Persia. the final two games is a mystery to me. since its on the same engine as sot.

fucc me it is.. know why is my bards tale in storage. along with my pop2 and 3. so i guess there is no rush.
but armed n dangerous YEAH!

clevernickname6728d ago

Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb is a great game. My only real complaints are that about 4/5 through the game the difficulty takes a steep upward curve. Nothing impossible, mind you, but it can be frustrating. The game is also not without a few very minor technical problems here and there. My other gripe is that the last half of the game is set entirely in China, which begins to feel monotonous after a while.

Overall it captures the look and feel of Indiana Jones perfectly. I can't wait until the planned Indy project that Lucasarts revealed last year sees the light of day sometime next year.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
