Remake It So: Friday the 13th: The Video Game
Friday the 13th is the kind of day in which you triple-lock your doors, avoid ladders, run away from any stray black cats, and be vigilant for crazed maniacs in hockey masks wielding machetes. That last one is probably the most prominent problem on this unholiest of days. Rather than fearing the inevitable at the [...]
Remake It So: Zombies Ate My Neighbors
After making a big deal about horror games not being scary anymore, I’m going to sound like a huge hypocrite when I talk about why I’d love to see Zombies Ate My Neighbors remade but my affinity for that series has absolutely nothing to do with being scared. To me, the original Zombies Ate My [...]
Remake It So: Extreme-G
While I wouldn’t call myself a hardcore racing game fan, I do dip my toe in the genre from time to time. I gravitate more towards the arcade side of the genre with the Burnout series being a particular favorite of mine. However, even this side of the genre has gotten a bit too traditional [...]
Remake It So: Rock n’ Roll Racing
Ever since Gran Turismo on the PS One and the original Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit I can’t find a racing game that can grab my attention for more than a couple play sessions. Recently, I was looking through my library of older games and came across Rock n’ Roll Racing. I wasted many days of [...]
Remake It So: Mutant League Football
Being a subscriber to SEGA Channel had plenty of benefits. Not only was I the envy of my friends, but I was able to play a lot of titles over time. One of the titles I was most fond of was Mutant League Football. This game should be revived because the sports genre has become [...]
Remake It So: Def Jam: Fight for NY
One of my most underrated experiences on the PS2 was the month I spent living out my thug life dreams in Def Jam: Fight for NY. The presentation layer of the game made me strangely invested in my created character. For some reason I got a huge kick out of pimping out my wardrobe and [...]
Remake It So: Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy
When asked about their favorite games involving superhuman protagonists (that aren’t licensed DC or Marvel characters), most people would probably reference Infamous or Prototype, two games that gave players immense powers and whole cities to wreak havoc in. While I enjoyed both games, my fondest memories of that genre actually came a whole generation ago, [...]
Remake It So: Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
We don’t see as many new franchises by new developers these days, especially in the crowded genres of 3rd person action games and shooters. this is probably for good reason, as it is hard to for games to separate themselves from the pack. Deviating too much from the norms of a popular genre can pretty [...]
Remake It So: Start in the Dark – The Horrible Show 041311
Let’s talk about something we aren’t close to being qualified for, remaking video games. Justin, Cole, Ethan, Gifford, and Christina throw out their ideas for and break your memories of X-COM, Final Fantasy, Zelda, Blast Corps, and Eternal Darkness. Send in your questions to simon@horriblenight.com or @TheHorribleShow We’re not going to pretend that we know [...]
Remake It So: Nocturne: A Chance for Open World Horror
I played Nocturne at the end of my first PC gaming phase, a time in my life where the conflict between obsessive gaming and wanting to hump girls was beginning to get a bit one sided. I don’t remember where I’d heard about it, but recall saving my cash and buying it shortly after it [...]
Remake It So: Secret of Mana
It’s no secret to everyone who listens to the podcasts, that I have an unhealthy relationship with a game that has been available for public consumption for almost 17 years. The Secret of Mana is unquestionably in the shortlist for my favorite games of all time. In fact, I owned the cartridge years after I [...]
Remake It So: Hellgate: London
In the last few RIS articles, I talked about great games from the past that I’d like to see make a resurgence. Sometimes, however there are games with a lot of potential that made a bad first impression. We’d like to give them a second chance as well. Flagship studios had very lofty goals for [...]
Remake It So: Eternal Darkness
During my college years, the Gamecube was my primary source of electronic entertainment. I was financially strapped at the time, so video games had to take a back seat to food, rent and most importantly beer. It was during this time that my cash strapped roommate was forced into the bargain bin section of Gamestop [...]
Remake It So: Body Harvest
Despite their reputation, I’ve never had issues with remakes or reboots. In an age of dwindling originality, I don’t mind seeing someone else’s take on a beloved series or a graphical upgrade on a cult classic. With all the push to bring these oldies back to the limelight, a stalwart of my gaming past has [...]
