Microsoft: British Mag Taking The Piss, GoldenEye Not Coming To XBLA

Hope you didn't get your hopes up. Britain's Xbox World 360 magazine has been cock-teasing for a little while that they've got some BIG NEWS regarding GoldenEye on Xbox Live Arcade. Hands-on impressions, screenshots, the works. Which was an odd thing to be boasting, because we'd heard that the project had been shitcanned. So why were they banging on about it? Who knows. Microsoft have issued a statement over their story, which reads:
The story in Xbox World 360 is based entirely on rumour and speculation. Unfortunately, we were never contacted by the publication to confirm information or participate in the story in any way, as we would have confirmed that we do not have the necessary rights to release GoldenEye on Xbox Live Arcade.
Like I said, hope you didn't get your hopes up.
GoldenEye for XBLA is bollocks, says Microsoft [VG247]

Next Xbox World 360 Features Goldeneye

The UK's Xbox World 360 magazine blog has been teasing readers over the past week or so with snippets of a screenshot (like the one seen here) from a game they will be featuring in their next issue, which hits stands February 27th. After puzzling over the pieces with the help of several of our readers, we've come to the conclusion that it is indeed the abandoned port of Rare's N64 classic Goldeneye for Xbox Live Arcade. They'll have shots from the game and hands-on impressions, but don't be getting your hopes up.

There'll be no satisfying conclusion... but maybe, together, we can take down the whole system. Or, er, change a few minds.
Or at the very least move a few magazines, right? Hit the link to browse the heartbreaking screenshot snippets.

Rumor: Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark Coming to XBLA

Citing reliable sources, Xbox Evolved is reporting that Goldeneye 007, the original Perfect Dark and the original Banjo-Kazooie are all headed to the Xbox Live Arcade thanks to a deal worked out between all of the studios and license holders.

Goldeneye, according to the rumor, will hit XBLA shortly after the new Goldeneye, being developed by Activision, is released. The site also says Rare is examining the rest of their back catalog for future XBLA titles. We've contacted Microsoft for comment but haven't heard back yet. We'll make sure to update once we do.

Game Geezers Grinding Their Gums at 12-Year-Old Goldeneye Critic

The Addicted Geek ran one of our younger brethren, a 12-year-old gamer nicknamed Minigeek, through the gauntlet of GoldenEye and recorded the boy's responses for posterity. Addicted did it for the sake of testing the supposed "timelessness" of the title, and he was vastly disappointed with the boy's lack of sensitivity for his entrenched nostalgia. More »
