Bionic Commando: Rearmed
(
PSN

Rearmed is a remake of a game for the original Nintendo, but if I didn't know that I couldn't have guessed. It's probably the most fun I've ever had with a game played in two dimensions, and the fact that something this forward thinking in its design and uniquely fun ...

Remakes are all the rage these days, and while on the one hand they can be shrugged off as a cheap way for lazy developers to cash in, occasionally they not only reinvigorate a franchise that's been dead for two decades, but also create a game that's a sheer joy ...

Bionic Commando Rearmed is a remake of the NES classic Bionic Commando. It is for XBLA and PSN, and let me just say it is probably worth $60, but it is only a mere $10. It is easily one of the best downloadable games out there, and it is worth ...

As Nathan “Rad” Spencer parachutes onto the ground below, he soft lands, performs a forward roll, and gives a cheeky nod to the player holding the controller on the other side of the screen. He’s winking at you. Bionic Commando Rearmed is, itself, a remake of the classic NES game, ...

Remakes of classic games don't always turn out to be as enjoyable or fulfilling as their originals, and Capcom has already proved so with recent releases of 1942: Joint Strike and Commando 3. Bionic Commando Rearmed is the latest installment in Capcom's nostalgic remake craze, deriving from the original Bionic ...

It's fair to say that Bionic Commando is a classic game, for many it's unforgettable and for good reason. So in an age where the Arcade is being reborn in a different style it was expected I guess that Bionic Commando would see a updated version hitting our consoles soon ...

Generally, a remake is what, a 3-D re-imagining of the source material? This is the impression I’m under, that developers are afraid of taking two steps back when they put out games because they think the market won’t accept anything less than full 3-D. And one look at Sega proves ...
