If I had an XBONE I'd get it without a question. How are the 360 remakes of Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie and Perfect Dark? I dont remember reading any reviews of them, just that I didn't like the new voice actors for Perfect Dark.

I have been watching the Rare Revealed/Replay videos on youtube though that you can unlock in this game and they're very interesting and makes you wonder what ever happened to Rare after Microsoft bought them. I don't believe the theories that they were already turning bad which is why Nintendo sold them. I like more the theory that Nintendo helped them out a bit with their suggestions.

In those videos it was really cool to see Project Dream for the SNES, that game would've blowed my mind back in the 90s. The Crash Bandicoot style Banjo Kazooie game was pretty neat too, I would've loved to have played that version as well even if we did get the better idea. And from what I've seen from youtube videos Nutz and Boltz looks fairly fun, was it unjustifiably hated because it didn't look like the N64 Banjo's? Even the humor is spot on. I don't know this collection made me realize that I miss Rare and they haven't been replaced, the industry is still missing something without them.
