Actually I just listed XBLA games with >200 gamerscore, but it seems like Joust somehow has 205 without DLC... unless that achievement site has an incorrect point value for something.

At home all I have is a wireless network and I don't want to pay $100 for the official microsoft wireless adapter. Does anyone know if the Pelican brand one is a worthy substitute? I'm skeptical.

Original PS1 car models unlockable!
Friday, July 25th, 2008
The cat is out of the bag!
As a special treat for the fans of the original games, Isopod Labs is including eight original V8 PS1 car models in V8: Arcade.
The guys labored hard in the labs, converting the original 3D geometry, textures, and removing advanced texture-blending, to ensure that these rare replicas are restored to their authentic old-gen glory.
And, for the history buffs, Isopod is proud to unveil the original Piranha the first vehicle ever built for V8, but never included in the commercial versions of the game. This orange muscle car was based on the Pickard Piranha from Interstate 76, driven by the character of Jade Champion and later her brother, Groove. The car was dropped early in development, after V8s design was retooled as an arcade car-combat game.
These Classic V8 vehicles can be unlocked by successfully beating the Single Player Quest of each character.

Just like what your previous post said, I was just confirmingStumpokapow said:Achieve360Points incorrectly has a 5 point achievement listed as 10 points. I assumed that since the game total was above 200, it was DLC. My bad.
This is interesting (love stuff like this, hidden game stuff and beta crap) but did anyone ever hack a rom and find out what was behind the locked gate or anything?Shard said:http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/07/25/banjo-redeemed/
MTV Multiplayer Blog recently went hands-on with Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts and at the end of said article a sliver of information regarding the XBLA version of Banjo 1 was relayed.
In summation, all of those extra bits in the original Banjo-Kazooie are at long last going to be unlocked, I have been waiting 10 long years for my ice key.

ctivision Blizzard 'streamlining' Vivendi
Prototype, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, and Ice Age survive the big merger; Massive Entertainment and Swordfish Studios under the microscope.

You can't make the world's largest third-party omelette without breaking a few eggs. In the wake of the merger with Vivendi Games, Activision Publishing today announced that it is streamlining the subsumed company's operations.
As part of the drive for increased efficiency, Activision will "realign" staff at Radical Entertainment (Prototype, Crash of the Titans) and High Moon Studios (The Bourne Conspiracy, Darkwatch). As for their sister subsidiaries Massive Entertainment (World in Conflict, Ground Control) and Swordfish Studios (50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, Cold Winter), Activision is "exploring options," including the sale or closing of the outfits.
The future is similarly uncertain for Sierra Online (Assault Heroes 2) and Vivendi Games Mobile (Prison Break, Cake Mania 2). The publisher deemed them "non-strategic business units" and said it is exploring the possibility of closing or selling them as well.
"We are focused on improving efficiency across the combined organization and are concentrating on businesses where we have leadership positions that are aligned with Activision Publishing's long-term corporate objectives," Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith said in a statement.
As for the Vivendi properties that are definitely sticking around, Activision said it is adding Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, and Ice Age to its stable of popular brands. It will also bring in two new intellectual properties Vivendi had been working on: Radical Games' Prototype, and one as-yet unannounced title.
"We have conducted a thorough review of Vivendi Games' brand portfolio and are retaining those franchises and titles that are a strong fit with our long-term product strategy," Griffith said. "We are reviewing our options regarding those titles that we will not be publishing."
The press release makes no mention of other anticipated Vivendi titles like Double Fine Productions' Brutal Legend or Terminal Reality's Ghostbusters. Activision representatives did not immediately respond to GameSpot's requests for comment on the status of these and other Vivendi projects.
Back in March, Variety reported that Vivendi developers were having to re-pitch their games to the incoming Activision management. At the time, Double Fine head Tim Schafer said he hadn't been asked to go anywhere or pitch anything special.

Sean said:Well, looks like the following XBLA games are on the chopping block thanks to Activision. Sierra Online was one of the biggest supporters, but apparently they won't be around for longer...
1) Cribbage
2) Interpol
3) Gin Rummy
4) Red Baron Arcade
5) Vigilante 8 Arcade
6) Zombie Wranglers
(as well as Assault Heroes, Red Baron Arcade, Switchball ports for the PSN crowd)
