Grant Kirkhope recently uploaded the Treasure Trove Cove beta music on his website. You can access it here, on his Beta Compositions section. Very different in comparison to what we got in our carts.

Their upcoming game, Kinect Sports, left fans of Rare very disappointed as they expected for Rare to have more of an impact on E3 rather than just one game. Kinect Sports is a completely motion-controlled optimized game , featuring six different sports, including football, Table Tennis and Beach Volleyball.

No doubt this will have Rare fans everywhere speculating the new and upcoming surprises from Rare.

If Rare ever comes across this: I'm very sorry, I really do not know what to say. Kinect Sports looks great... But it's not my cup of tea. Looking forward to future games (Non-Sport).

Starting today Banjo-Tooie on the Xbox Live Arcade will cost 800 MSP for a week. Enjoy... For those of you sadists (Joke) who haven't bought it yet.

Donkey Kong country does indeed return with a ... Not so clever title. It is "Donkey Kong Country Returns".


This is one of those rare games I might just get, even thought it's not even developed by Rare.

Rare's new Kinect Sports-oriented site launched today. It's bigger, better, and more organized--see for yourself.

I got extremely disappointed when Goldeneye 007 could not get released on XBLA. There is however a remake for Wii.

Kinect Sports is a new game developed by Rare for the Kinect (Previously known as Natal).

I honestly do not know what else to say. I will not get this game.
