One of my All-Time Favorite All-Time Games of All-Time™ has to be Bionic Commando. It was released in 1987 as an arcade game by CapCom, and released later that year on the Commodore 64 (along with other platforms). I loved playing the arcade version at my local amusement arcade, and I even went out and bought the Disk version for my '64 - pretty damned good conversion too!
Well, I've been waiting for the Redux versions for a little while. There's a whole new 3D version coming out on the NG Consoles (Xbox 360, PS3) soon; but, as a taster, there's Bionic Commando Rearmed, a re-imagining of the original arcade game. It's in faux-3D (i.e. slightly 3d ish but played as 2d) and it looks shit-hot... and it's available on the Xbox Arcade from tomorrow, Wednesday 13th August 2008! (I don't know about the PS3 version unfortunately, check your online thingy, whatever it's called, if you've got one of those.)
I for one will be using some of my Microsoft Points to unlock the full version of this baby. If you know which game I'm talking about, do it too! If you don't, download the Trial version anyway and see what REAL action games should be about (i.e. the 80s ;)).
