Xbox Originals Grabs Some Ghoulies News

They may have already landed on the Xbox Live Arcade with JetPack and Banjo-Kazooie, but Rare is today joining another section of the Xbox Live Marketplace: Xbox Originals.

Releasing its Xbox debut, 2003's Grabbed by the Ghoulies, no doubt the British outfit will hope for a better response to the title than when it first arrived.  Just for the record, TVG gave the title a below average six out of ten.

Announcing the game's appearance on the Marketplace, Rare pointed towards a typically wry statement from the UK studio, specifically, Ghoulies team boss, Gregg Mayles:

"For all those discerning games connoisseurs who somehow managed to miss out on playing Ghoulies the first time (and I’m sure there must be a few million of you somewhere), I highly recommend you spend a few lazy evenings (or a lot if you're rubbish at games) inside the Baron’s delightful Ghoulhaven Hall. Imagine a game you really like and then visualise Ghoulies as a stylish haunted house version of that. So, if you like Halo, pretend that the main character is Master Chief and the hilarious DJ Mummy is a terrifying Covenant alien. It works for me."

Ghoulies joins the cream of Xbox 1 games now available on the Xbox Originals page, which includes Halo: Combat Evolved, Fahrenheit, GTA: San Andreas...and Fusion Frenzy.
