Get your Ghoulies grabbed on President’s Day
Grabbed by the Ghoulies is the next Xbox Original
So less than a month ago, PEGI rated Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Rare’s first Xbox title, for the 360. Speculation ran that it would be either something for the Xbox Live Arcade or the uncommonly updated Xbox Originals service. Logically, those that thought it would be for the Xbox Originals service turned out to be correct. Give yourselves a cookie if that was the case.
Among today’s Rare updates (which surprised us, too), the company announced via their website that Ghoulies would be hitting the service this Monday, or President’s Day if you’re an American. Oddly enough, despite announcing it, there aren’t any specifics on any added features such as Achievements or even the pricing for the game. Because of this, it’s best to logically assume that it’ll be the exact same thing you can probably find used at the hefty 1200 MS Point tag.
Personally speaking, if you can find it used for cheap, now’s a good a time as any to buy it. If you can’t, however, or you like to support the company through being a consumer whore, it’ll be waiting for you on the service much like the ghoulish monsters in Ghoulhaven Hall.

That depends what console you have (PAL/NTSC) and which version of which game.
Ghoulies runs fine through VGA on my Euro 360, Conker through VGA runs only on US boxes. Sadly. It shouldn’t as the Euro version also supports 60hz, but MS never bothered to fix that bug. 
Does anyone know if Xbox Originals can be played with a VGA HD cable? I really want to play this!
