AAG's Tyler Chancey writes: "Beyond Good and Evil is the newest addition to the recurring trend of “HD” remakes of old popular franchises from the last console generation. Having not experienced the game back when it was on the GameCube and Xbox respectively and have heard of its cult following despite an overall mixed reception back in the day, I was cautiously optimistic at its potential. That being said, the hardest thing about reviewing an old game is whether or not you review it compared to what came out originally or do you hold it up by today’s standards as a downloadable title. The answer is a little bit of both."

Where's number 2?! They show a cinematic teaser and then it just falls off the edges like it never happened. I liked this game and I want to know that the sequel still exists..
Neil writes "We're here yet again with the latest free Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles ready to be thrust upon us. But in a period that sees few new games released, the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for August could well be the big hitting feature that Xbox One and Xbox 360 players looking for a new game rely on. That combination therefore leaves the door wide open for the scheme to deliver a cracking set of free titles."
Good for me as I've never played any of the games being offered this month.
Edit: that was a lie, I played BG&E on OGXbox.
I'm going to get some mileage out of everything but Spelunky. I've played that in so many variations. I realized when I started Spelunky World online for PS4 that I simply cannot plant another bomb without blacking out. I have not played a wrestling game since the last wwe game on PS2. I'm excited to see how far things have come. Solid month for me.
MajorNelson:
For the month of August, Xbox Live Gold members will receive four new free games - two on Xbox One and two on Xbox 360 - as part of the Games with Gold program.
On Xbox One, Xbox Live Gold members can download WARRIORS OROCHI 3 Ultimate ($59.99 ERP) for free during the month of August. WWE 2K16 ($39.99 ERP) will be available as a free download from August 16th to September 15th.
Nice Selection for the month of August imo.I played BG&E back on the original Xbox and I'm not a big fan of the WWE games but I'm gonna download both anyways also I'm really eager to try out Warriors O and Spelunky.
Awww YEYAH!!
Just bought a month's-worth of Gold last night - mostly so I could get The Banner Saga 2, but I'm gonna be getting some serious value out of August's line-up... always meant to play Beyond Good and Evil, but kept forgetting it existed and I'll definitely check out the other games - I hear Spelunky's great and it's been well over a decade since I last dished-out a virtual smackdown!
Anyone know if Mick Foley, Mankind or Cactus Jack are still alive?
I want Strangers Wrath on my PS3. Why did the turds have to push it back just to HD up the eternally shit Munch's Odysee & release it with Wrath, Abe Odysee, & Exodus as a compilation. Damn fuckers, just give me Strangers Wrath, as the 1st 2 are already available on PSN, Munch is a game that Munch's Elton John's faggity ass, & that leaves Strangers Wrath as the only worthwhile addition to the family. It should have been released AS SOON AS PSN is back up & running ready for me to buy with no media bred fear of using my credit card again over PSN, or a PSN card for others interested, but understandibly fearful of being ripped off.
