Old Titles Like Counter-Strike to Appear on XBLA?
Portal: Still Alive is the first of those games, giving 360 gamers a chance to experience Portal even if they didn’t buy The Orange Box.
“It’s designed to give Xbox 360 gamers the chance to get Portal, for those who didn’t want to go through the Orange Box. It’s Portal, the game we all played and loved last year, plus 10-20 new challenges that you’ll unlock,” explained Lombardi adding that the extra challenges will be “exclusive to Xbox 360 in 2008”.
When asked about older titles coming to the Xbox Live Arcade, Lombardi sounded interested.
“We’ll certainly consider it. If you look at what we’ve done on Steam, we try to make all our games available and we’re always reviewing the prices to keep them current. We’d love to do that, but Portal: Still Alive is our first step at doing that beyond the PC.”
