Xbox greatest hits' greatest hits

David Rudden
In a move akin to adding a these-guys-were-even-better wing to the Baseball Hall of Fame, Microsoft has launched a new budget line of Xbox games called the Best of Platinum Hits. The following titles will retail for $9.99--half the price of a run-of-the-mill Platinum Hit--when the program hits stores this month:

  • Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (Bethesda Softworks)
  • Enter the Matrix (Atari)
  • Fuzion Frenzy (Microsoft Game Studios)
  • Project Gotham Racing 2 (Microsoft Game Studios)
  • Shrek 2 (Activision)
  • Soul Calibur II (Namco)
  • Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon (Ubisoft)--Xbox 360 compatible
  • Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Island Thunder (Ubisoft)
  • Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 (Ubisoft)--Xbox 360 compatible
  • Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow (Ubisoft)--Xbox 360 compatible
  • Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (Ubisoft)--Xbox 360 compatible
  • Tony Hawk's Underground (Activision)
  • Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (Activision)--Xbox 360 compatible
  • True Crime: Streets of LA (Activision)
  • MechAssault (Microsoft Game Studios)
  • Counter-Strike (Microsoft Game Studios)

    Hmm... Enter the Matrix and True Crime, but no Halo or KOTOR? Looks like someone at Microsoft needs to look up the definition of best of.

    NOTE: While the new MSRP is $9.99, all games may not yet be available at that price at all retailers--including some of the ones linked here.
