I played—and beat—the 2008 remake, Bionic Commando Rearmed. I liked it a lot and apparently it's quite faithful to the original, but the 360 D-pad made it much more difficult than it needed to be. I'd like to try the original sometime though.
The rights and royalties would probably be too confusing to work through. I mean, that's a lot of people and properties to keep straight!
They're good games. I just got the second one thanks to Humble Bundle 9. And the guy that wrote the second track has done quite a few indie games. He wrote the music for Angry Birds!
Trine is definitely overshadowed by its sequel, which I think is more a testament to the quality of the second game than a knock to the first. I have both thanks to a couple Humble Bundles and tried out the first one quite a few months ago. I didn't have a two button mouse at the time and the track pad on my Mac laptop made it kind of difficult to play lol. But I liked what I did get through and hope to get back to it sometime.
Happy anniversary! Sounds like you had a good time 
Hehe...you're doing a tribute to a soundtrack that's a tribute to Nintendo's history. There's probably never been so much talent on display in one game. Can you imagine how many CDs it would take to hold the entire soundtrack?
Well said! Thanks for listening
We got this not long after it came out and my wife played it till she got stuck on the puzzles. I really want to play it but there are all these other games I really want to play too lol. I'm just glad we have it. Jeremy Parish's review on 1UP sold me on it.
I'm feeling stuck right now rather than bouncing around. I'm still playing SMT IV but I'm getting close to the end. Was hoping to finish it before the end of the month, but that's not gonna happen. Just got to the next part of Tokyo, Shibuya, and it's quite big. I did start playing Galaga Legions DX because it's on PS+ and I've enjoyed that. I could finish that pretty easily before the month ends, so that's something. But I'm going to a wedding tomorrow and it will take most of the day. My wife is a bridesmaid for a friend of hers, so there will be pictures before, pictures after, and the reception. Plus it's two hours away and I'll have my son the whole time, so yeah, won't be gaming much tomorrow lol
Sounds cool. Hope it has a good turnout!
