Splatterhouse is probably not a game that was in dire need of rebooting. The original 1988 arcade game, and subsequent TurboGrafx-16 release, mostly served of interest due to its highly graphic (for its time) violence. At its core, the game was a fairly forgettable beat-'em-up with a few interesting monsters to bludgeon and eviscerate, but the sheer amount of blood and gore on offer (again, relative to other games of this era) made it an enticement, even in its heavily edited TurboGrafx form. Basically, it was all guts, no substance.
The PS3 era was a happy time, so let's look back on some of its games that flew well under the radar.

"I have always liked the idea of having a Doom-like "Splatterhouse" game. Well, now I (we) get the chance to experience a game like that, because "Splatterhouse 3D" is a really cool "Doom" mod that offers that very .experience" - Robin Ek, TGG.
