Xbox 360 Wire has a list of 50 games that deserve to appear on Xbox Live Arcade, although it does say that any other downloadable console versions would also be welcomed.
"The list covers titles from way back in the BBC Micro day's right through to some of the latter consoles. Hell, there's even a couple of arcade and web based titles in there too...
All of the games listed here are entirely possible to bring back today. Certain first party titles had to be excluded due to either publishing or legal reasons - you won't be finding Mario Kart on XBLA any time soon I'd wager.
Where a title was released on multiple platforms, the preferred 'version' is the console named in brackets after each entry. Each entry has a 'plausibility rating' out of 10."
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.
Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
Clive actor Ben Starr plays kiss, marry, kill with Final Fantasy characters, and decides to off Cid from Final Fantasy 12.
Ew VO actors and their cringe core. Fiverr voice actors could out perform this chump.
Magic Carpet for sure..
Where's Dungeon Keeper though? :(
I would like a real nextgen, 2D Worms game. There's so much that can be done with it.
Definitely this game - infact all the Saturn games listed are decent - not Rayman though.
How about Flashback on the Megadrive and i still want the original R-Type.
keep it lean, keep the gamer keen.
I would love Moonwalker that would be so cool...never gona happen though
