Edge: The dagger plunges into the cold blaze of the glinting sand and you have a moment to breathe. A moment to sense the shapes of all the things you won't have time to think about: the consequences of what you've done and the consequences of what you haven't; the price of what you've lost and the price of what you're yet to find; the things you've changed and the things that won't change back.
Before the shapes have time to form it starts, pulling you back past every shout of wonder, every splash of sudden sand, every breathless ache of victory: faster, faster, faster. And then the world is as it was, cool and quiet as raindrops, and you can take another breath. But by the time it leaves your lungs it has begun again – the same midnight race, the same moon-bleached balcony. A different prince. A different you.
"Whether you’ve never played it or haven’t touched it in a while, sit down and let the Prince tell you a tale unlike one you have never heard." - Blair at Electric Bento
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Over the past few weeks we have been talking a lot about video remakes. Which are great, which are bad and whether or not the industry as a whole is better off with or without them. Well today it all comes to a head as we count down the Top 10 games that we would love to see remade! Some of these are classic gems, that are still perfectly playable today while others are games that could definitely use some sprucing up to fix nagging issues that have kept them from reaching the next level but the one thing they all have in common is that we would love these classics to get a fresh coat of paint."
Would I like remakes for most of those games on the list? Sure.
Do I trust any of the companies which own those IPs, to make anything even remotely worthy of the original? Not a f****n chance.
Except maybe Zelda II and Kid Icarus for obvious reasons.
Red alert or red alert 2 remakes would be amazing but they aren't going to happen as EA completely ruined the franchise. Even if EA decided to remake it, it would have microtransactions and probably have mobile construction yards or something stupid like CNC4 did.
EA ruined this franchise and its a damn shame... We won't see it ever again unless they make a mobile game out of it full of microtransaction goodness.
Check out the price of some of the original Xbox backwards compatible games.
Glad I still own my original games, not all of them but a few from the list already
As an avid Xbox fan, this is great BUT I wish they would start putting this much effort into new exclusive AAA games. This is a fair criticism and if we keep just accepting old games and new hardware we will keep getting the same.
