''Capcom has proven time and again that it is the master of remakes. Ports and remastered games have been keeping franchises like Resident Evil and Mega Man alive and kicking generations past their prime. Once again, Capcom is firmly capturing the hearts of the retro gaming crowd with an almost flawless remake of the most original side-scroller on the NES, Bionic Commando.
Bionic Commando Rearmed should have been purely mediocre. As an almost direct translation of a 20-year-old game, it seemed like little more than viral marketing for the upcoming next-gen Bionic Commando title. But GRIN really delivered the goods and created something to not only ease newcomers into the series, but also deliver some hard-core thrills and fun surprises for dedicated fans. It's equal parts accessible and hard-core, with a Duke Nukem "give-'em-hell" attitude and a visual flair to match. While the game isn't perfect, it is about the best thing to come out of the retro revolution this side of Mega Man 9.
In Rearmed, you fill the sneakers of Nathan Spencer, the Bionic Commando. At the start of the game, you're tasked with saving Federation hero Super Joe from the hands of Generalissimo Killt with only a ridiculous revolver and an extendable grappling arm. The first thing you'll notice is that just like on the NES, you don't even have the leg strength to jump. All vertical (and a lot of horizontal) motion is accomplished by way of the versatile arm, which can fire forward, diagonally, or straight up and grab onto almost any surface it touches. This includes floors, barrels, cinderblocks and eventually enemy soldiers.''
The Humble Capcom Heroic Collection Bundle just launched recently. It has ten items including Monster Hunter Rise, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, and more.

"On this week's episode of The 1099 Podcast, the composer at 10 Chambers, former audio director at Starbreeze, and man behind the sound design in favorites like Payday 2, Bionic Commando Rearmed, and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Simon Viklund, joins host Josiah Renaudin to explain how sound gets into games. Simon details what it's like creating both music and sounds for major video games, how aspiring designers can break into the industry, whether or not you have to capture all of your own original sounds, and what makes upcoming co-op shooter GTFO special."
Neil writes: "Whilst many out there will be hotly anticipating jumping on a plane and heading off for a summer break, even more will just be happy to kick back with a controller in hand, seeing out the summer with some hot and sweaty gaming sessions. And what better way to enjoy the delights of the summer sun than by picking up a new game or two at discounted prices.
