Halo, Kameo, GT4... The games that took an eternity to make
Kameo
Rare's purple-clad fairy Kameo first tried to flutter on to GameCube in 2001, able to recruit 60 creatures to fight for her. After Rare's switch from Nintendo to Microsoft, she was set to return on Xbox two years later with a makeover and 18 creatures. But after another two years, another extreme makeover and a costume change, young elf (most certainly not fairy) Kameo finally got to strut her stuff on 360 – with only 10 friends, though.
