Oh dear. From the sound of this, Xbox World 360's upcoming story on GoldenEye for XBLA is a bit... s**t.

"The story in Xbox World 360 is based entirely on rumour and speculation," said a spokesperson for Microsoft Games Studios. "Unfortunately, we were never contacted by the publication to confirm information or participate in the story in any way, as we would have confirmed that we do not have the necessary rights to release GoldenEye on Xbox Live Arcade."

Xbox World 360, a UK mag, had said previously that "you’ll find the first ever shots and definitive hands-on details behind one of this year’s biggest stories. Yep, it’s the story the whole world wanted, but only we got - and we unleash it next Wednesday in Xbox World 360."

We think we should just start calling this sort of thing "GameProing," as in "Xbox World's GamePro'd GoldenEye XBLA." Or maybe not.
