Wooooooooooooooo
Awesome news, the Oddworld series was fantastic, and now I can finally try the Xbox versions out too.

Agreed, this is fantastic news. Now I can play Munch's Oddysee properly, as the backwards compatability on 360 with it is terrible, with no sound/voice.

I love the Oddworld series. I remember before I bought the full game of Abes Odysee (my personal favourite) I used to play the demo over and over again. And the opening cutscene always scared me shitless no matter how many times I watched it.
I will be grabbing these for sure.

Strangers Wrath was amazing, one of my fav Xbox games. Such a vast and open ended adventure game.

Would kill to have this released on 360 ala The Orange Box, either as a physical game or just on XBLA. But Steam will do the trick, awesome news.

This is fantastic news. I was always a massive fan of the Abe games, but never had a chance to play the following Oddworld games because I never had an Xbox, and the 360 isn't backwards compatible for them. This is just such unexpected news, I can't wait for this.

Apparently Abe is coming to PSN/XBLA which is awesome too but there was no news of Stranger coming with them. I hope it does though, Stranger was an absolutely amazing game!

Joy! Always wanted to play Stranger as I never had an original Xbox.

Loved the games; Hopefully we get a form of online multiplayer in Stranger's Oddysee. Only time will tell, I guess.

Me too! Played that demo so many times and the intro was definitely creepy.

Sweet! I remember playing the first one on ps1 when I was a teenager and loving it. I was just reading about Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath the other day after the steam sale on the first 2, so this is good news.

I knew it! They were just waiting for me to buy the first two games on Steam before announcing a bundle of all four. I do hope they'll be selling them separately, too.

Awesome news, i hope the two xbox games are optimized for PC rather than just straight up ports. Been wanting to try Strangers wrath for a while now, i have heard good things.

Ah I thought this company died, this is excellent news and hopefully with the added interest in Oddworld they can progress further and release more of the Oddysee Quintology.
