Thought you guys would be intrested in this if you haven't already see it

Please not that none of this article has been confirmed yet, and it's all just rumour.

Activision didn't have enough money, but Bill 'Richie Rich' Gates's company was willing to knock down 350 million for them. This is about 500 million Euro/dollar.

Microsoft is said to have held a meeting recently with Rare in a hotel near Twycross, the developer's base. A deal was made, and Microsoft will make make a big announcement at their X02 event in Seville later this month, where the company will showcase new exclusive Xbox titles.

The rumour continues. Perfect Dar Zero will be developed exclusively for Xbox. That would also be the reason why we haven't heard from it anymore since last year's E3.

Hmmmmm is this true, you guess is as good as mine.

Wow, I wonder why Ninties are slagging off Rare. ;-)
How attitudes have changed to the company who kept the N64 afloat for so long.

And seeing as whitestripes loves them so much, I'll add another one of those smiles. ;-)

Wouldn't touch anything like Banjo. But Conker's - I definatly would. Would probably consider Perfect Dark too. Other than that, I guess I'd have to see whats on the way.
