Beyond Good & Evil HD coming to PS3 in May
Ubisoft announced that Beyond Good & Evil HD will come to the PlayStation 3 in May. Plus, those who buy the game within two weeks of release will get BG&E avatars.
Today Ubisoft announced that the PlayStation 3 version of Beyond Good & Evil HD will come in May, via the PlayStation Blog. Though associate producer Eric Damian-Vernet didn't disclose a more specific release date, he did mention that Jade and Pey’j avatars will be available for players who pick up the game in its first two weeks on PSN.
The game enjoyed a brief stint as an Xbox Live Arcade timed exclusive, thanks to its part in the House Party promotion. BG&E is a mere $10 on XBLA, so we expect the same price when it hits the PlayStation Network.
Beyond Good & Evil enjoyed a positive critical reception at launch, but didn't manage to catch healthy sales. Ubisoft teased Beyond Good & Evil 2 with a trailer, but has been eerily quiet ever since. The company assured fans that it was still in development recently, but they may be watching downloadable BG&E HD sales carefully to gauge interest in a sequel.

Of all the games on my PS2 this is in my top 5 and over all it holds a place of honor in my collection. While it is true that it does not break barriers for gameplay, the photography hunts were so addicting, the racing was solid and the stealth/combat was fluid. The story and the very, very strong acting coupled with a solid story based on a time tested theme makes this game stand out amongst the rest. If you never got a chance to play the game on the PS2, XBOX or GameCube you owe it to yourself to pick this game up.
