Weekly XBLA Update - 12/03/08
Are you a fan of over the top acting done by C-list celebrities? I know I am. That is why this week I am happy to download the demo of Command and Conquer Red Alert 3. Considering I haven't played a C&C game since back in the PS1 days I'm going to need some time to get back into the strategy mindset before I invest my dollars into the full version. Speaking of days gone by, can you believe the Nintendo 64 platformer Banjo-Kazooie is hitting the XBLA today? Truth be told I only played a bit of the original game so this might be something to check out when I need a fix from the genre. I wonder what other Rare made games we might see make the leap from N64 to X360? A perfect woman shrouded in the absence of light perhaps? Don't want to froget, Rock Band has songs from Naked Brothers Band (they're not Disney manufactured so I care not for them) and All-American Rejects (swoon).
