Banjo-Kazooie returns!

I will admit, I am a huge Rare fan. I have loved their games ever since Donkey Kong Country. Heck, they are the ones who basically kept the N64 alive.!

It is great to see Microsoft starting to really utilize Rare, starting with the return of Banjo-Kazooie. I am currently playing through the first one for the second time. I haven't, believe it or not, ever played Banjo-Tooie, despite my love for the first one. However, I just picked up Banjo-Tooie, and I am really looking forward to playing it.

While I was incredibly excited with the announcment, I was also a bit worried about the games outcome. Those worries have been flushed away, as Eurogamer has reported that the team behind the original Banjo-Kazooie on the N64 is working on its Xbox 360 sequel: Eurogamer Article

I will continue to watch this game with anticipation. Sure, Rare hasn't been quite as high quality of a developer as it was back in its Donkey Kong/Goldeneye days, but after playing a bit of Kameo at a friends house, it proves that Rare still knows how to make great, innovative titles. Plus, with confirmation that the original Banjo team is working on this game, I have no doubts that the game will be as great as the last two.
