I always regretted not getting this on my Gamecube, so being able to get it now, for ten bucks, in HD, and with achievements, seems like total win to me. Plus, maybe theyll finally give us some info on that sequel

I fully anticipate, as do many people, that Ubisoft is using this to gauge interest in a sequel. Definitely a day one buy. Been looking forward to playing this again since the XBLA port was announced. :)

I just noticed Days of Thunder Arcade on the dashboard. I haven't heard anything about it until then. Has it been out since Wednesday, and how good is it?

I really loved this game on Gamecube. I still own it, so i have a hard time buying it just to replay it, even with better graphics and the fact that the game is awesome. Oh, and that I don't play my GC one even on the wii.... still, it's tempting...

No idea why... Maybe they didn't want a gatecrasher to the House Party?

I'll probably get this if I don't like the Torchlight demo next week, but I think that's very unlikely.

really wasn't impressed with this house party bollocks, but this may be the only good looking game out of the five. i'd probably of given the poker a go, if it was free like we were told it'd be. just like joy ride!! scamming bastards.

Anyway i'll get this in a month or 2 when i've got'n rid of some of the backlog
ok ok i've got one....... whats the difference between jam and marmalade?

I already own a PS2 and Xbox disc, but I'm buying anyway. I'd like to see them make a sequel.
