A mix of improvements from the first elevate the mechanics, but changes to the core gameplay harm the overall experience.
I know I'm going to be in the overwhelming minority here, but I have seriously mixed feelings about Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando. On one hand, the game drastically improved upon some of my gameplay complaints from the original title, on the other, it went ahead and created a whole new set of problems. Lenghty fetch quests and far too many required mini-games made the game feel drawn out and the overwhelming combat drastically overshadowed the platforming. This hurt an important core element of the game leaving it unbalanced, unfocused, and devoid of an element of character it once had before.
Fan outcry may have led to a compromise between Konami and the cast.
When the Silent Hill HD Collection was announced, there was a brief moment of rejoicing from fans of the long-running horror series. That rejoicing soon turned into screaming, when it was divulged that both Silent Hill 2 and 3 would be getting all-new voice acting. You can see examples of the new voice acting here, and whatever your opinions of the quality of the acting, it definitely sounds quite a bit different from the original. The initial reasoning for the new VO was a matter of money—the original cast wanted to be compensated for the re-issue of their work, and Konami decided to go with new actors instead of negotiate.

September was a big month for Nintendo in the US. How big? Nintendo moved nearly 650,000 pieces of hardware. The DS reached the major sales milestone of 50 million units in the US. The 3DS is selling better than ever, having sold 260,000 units last month, a number Nintendo suggests is a 10% increase over August. Perhaps the most shocking number is for the Wii. Without any major title releases or any major marketing push, the Wii sold 240,000 units in September. Click through to see more Nintendo sales figures for last month.
A group of four have forged Starfire Studios to build an "always connected" XBLA game.
Starfire Studios is the latest game studio spawned from ex-Rare employees.

The second South Park game for XBLA has finally been revealed. This will be the final part of the exclusive deal between Microsoft and South Park Digital Studios that was unveiled two years ago. The first game, South Park: Let’s Go Tower Defense Play! had a decent showing among reviewers, with a Metacritic of 72. While that game featured Stan, Kenny, Cartman, and Kyle in a tower defense setting, the new game is something much, much different.

No one can deny Grand Theft Auto III's place in history. It created the open world genre as we know it and pissed off hundreds of thousands of parents and senators.
