Come to think of it, I kind of wis...

Digital download services seem to be the home of old franchises and genres hoping to make a big return to the industry, especially the platformer. No character has been as sorely missed as Shiny’s Earthworm Jim. But now, Virgin has crawled back from the dirt to next generational consoles to...
