Raze's Hell joins Xbox Originals

By Robert Purchese Published 11 December, 2008

SEGA Soccer Slam restricted to US.

Atari oldie Raze's Hell has joined the ranks of Xbox 1 games available to download for Xbox 360.

At 1200 Microsoft Points (GBP 10.20 / EUR 14.40) the asking price is rather high, especially as the game can be picked up from Amazon or Play for the same or less.

Plus, Raze's Hell was more-or-less a budget title upon release, which helped us nudge the score up to 6/10.

Raze's Hell is a quirky third-person shooter based around tearing cutesy Japanimation baddies limb from limb, which sounds rather appealing. But unfortunately that wears off rather quickly and the quite bog standard gameplay takes over.

Head over to our Raze's Hell review for a closer examination.

The US are also being offered Xbox 1 game SEGA Soccer Slam. We're not sure why - aren't they more fond of using their hands over there?

Head over to the Xbox website to see what other Originals are on offer.

    Seems xbox originals feature is rather limited in use by the publisher and the various control measures they employ, perhaps this would make a nice investigative article for eurogamer?

    hopefully that explains why 99% of majority of the xbox 1 catalogue is not on there yet, the price is so high, and none of the titles appeal at the moment

    It's amazing how so many great Xbox titles are not yet being placed on the Originals list to download, as it gives a great opportunity for previously underperforming titles to regain some of the lost revenue from poor sales at retail (heaven thank you for giving us Psychonauts)

    Of course, it's always down to submission procedures and costs for putting it up, but I could run through hundreds of titles here that they could place on here. But Ubisoft, please put up "Beyond Good & Evil" before the sequel launches, then you'll find yourself with more cash than what you can deal with :p

    Oh, and btw, why is a "Earned in Blood" screenshot on BG&E's site? lol
