The good old days of Rare on SNES with DKC trilogy, Killer Instinct, N64 with Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, DK64, Diddy Kong Racing, Conker, Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo Tooie are long gone. 10+ AAA games were produced by Rare on SNES and N64..
A few average/mediocre games have been released by Rare on XBox and XBox 360 including grabbed by the Ghoulies, Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo, Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts. I can not think of any others. Rare are now focused on Kinect games and avatars.
The acquisition of Rare by Microsoft in 2002 was a cynical business move to disadvantage Nintendo. The $100 million acquisition of Rare has been a very poor business investment.
