Karateka is Getting the HD Remake Treatment

Everybody under 30 just went Karata-what?

Do you remember Karateka?  The 1984 Karate combat game originally released for the Apple II computer developed by Jordan Mechner in his dorm room at Yale?  If you said no, than does the idea of playing a story based game inspired by “Japanese woodblock prints, Kurosawa films, early Disney animation, and silent movies” intrigue you?  How about playing through a love story using a simple gameplay mechanic?  If any of these things captured your interest, you might want to look out for Karateka’s as of yet unnamed HD remake.

Choplifter HD Review

This is one series that may have been better off in the past. Click through to see our first video review!

Choplifter HD is nothing if not true to its name; the game is essentially a dolled up version of 1982’s Choplifter, offering few innovations besides the modest graphical paint job. It’s a return to the 80’s – in the same sense of a Corey Feldman movie marathon – it’s shallow, devoid of humor, and awkward. Hardcore fans of the series might be pleased to see such a devout remake, but newcomers will be less than satisfied with the outdated mechanics.

Syndicate Remake Possible, Says EA

Jeff Gamon discussed the possibility of a Syndicate remake.

Jeff Gamon, EA Partners executive producer, told Eurogamer that he believes "There is scope to remake [Syndicate]." However, it would be for mobile phones, tablets and PC, not for the consoles. "I would love to see Syndicate as a true franchise again, bringing it back and expanding it out onto whatever platforms it's suitable for," Gamon said. "There's loads of potential. We're not limited at all. But that's purely speculative at this point."

Donkey Kong (Game Boy) Review Rewind

Witness the original arcade Donkey Kong get beaten into the dirt.

Please note that this review will not cover 3DS Virtual Console or Super Game Boy features.

I have a confession to make: I hate the original arcade Donkey Kong. Yes, sneer at me all you want, but I have good reasons for disliking it so much. While I have been very spoiled by Mario platforming adventures, his first battle with Donkey Kong is not something I eagerly replay. Note that this is coming from someone who enjoys games like Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, and Dig Dug (notice a pattern here?); I will admit that the original DK arcade game has some sound elements that would set a benchmark for Mario’s debut, but with those awful jumping mechanics Donkey Kong isn’t a game I rate highly.

Ys I & II Chronicles Review

I want to know who thought running into enemies to attack was a good idea.

I get the distinct impression that Nihon Falcom wasn’t too happy with the DS remake of Ys I & II, Legacy of Ys: Books I & II. The two games have been remade once again, this time on the PSP by Nihon Falcom, the original developers of the series. Having played the TurboCD version of the games, as well as the DS remake, I can safely say that this PSP remake is the truest to the original titles; however, its return to form has excised my favorite improvement introduced on the DS: 2D Zelda-like control.
