It's time for some new Xbox Originals, kids! This time we get Stubbs the Zombie and Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows. Stubbs was created by Wideload, the studio behind the upcoming Hail to the Chimp. Those who fancy playing the role of a zombie (as opposed to ruthlessly slaughtering them) should definitely take note. Seven Sorrows successfully managed to fall off the radar, probably thanks to the fact that it launched in December of 2005. You may recall a certain console that launched a month prior. While it may have been overlooked, Seven Sorrows is unique in the Gauntlet series as it was originally developed by industry vet John Romero (best known for the awesome Doom series or the awful Daikatana, depending on your point of view). He left the project (and Midway) just months prior to completion.
Of the two 1200 MS Point ($15) titles, Stubbs seems to be the better value, as Amazon has the retail version's used price pegged at around $25, whereas Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows hovers right around the $17 dollar mark with shipping.
Wouldn't Gauntlet Dark Legacy have been a more suitable choice. It STILL has loyal fans & by most is considered the Last good Gauntlet title. I don't have my Xbox anymore & have been waiting for the to be back-compat, Xbox Originals or XBLA...
YES!!! I've been waiting for Stubbs. I have a bunch of Stubbs videos on YouTube. I have it for Mac but it's not Universal so it runs like crap on my Intel iMac. I wish they'd make a new Stubbs game.

There's always the PC version of Stubbs too, which tends to cost less AND looks better.

i will be getting stubbs......it was a really fun game and neither the 6 gamestops in my 25 mile radius or the 3 game crazy's have this game.

because portal was not an xbox original.....xbox "originals" refers to games originally released on the "original" xbox.not 360.

Seven Sorrows was not overlooked. It basically STUNK. Dark Legacy was much MUCH better.
