Halloween is fast approaching! It’s one of those weird nights where bringing back old stuff is cool, so long as you do it right. Old computer case? Not cool. Old computer case painted to look like Frankenstein? Very cool!
Which brings us to this week’s giveaway prize—the Metro Redux Bundle! Celebrate Halloween by shooting down post-apocalyptic mutants that roam your subway tunnels! We've got four (4) bundles to give to some lucky individuals as a Halloween treat. I’ve never played these myself, but I’m told that this is one of those rare instances where a remake/sequel gets done right. Gives you hope for that upcoming game, you know, the one that is also post-apocalyptic, features mutants, and happens to also be a sequel. *hinthint*
For now, let’s talk remakes and sequels! What are some great games that are just dying for a sequel or a remake? What made the original so great and what would make the sequel/remake even better?
I’m holding out for remake of Legend of the Dragoon, which, for those who don’t know it, was an excellent RPG for the original PlayStation. It had a pretty innovative and engaging combat system, all the classic JRPG story elements, and the lovable pixel sprites of the generation (okay, in retrospect, it looked pretty terrible). A remake with modern graphics would be a dream come true. Make it happen, Sony!
Contest will run until 12 PM EDT on Friday, October 30. That’s 12:00 noon. Winners will receive their prize as a Steam gift; a Steam account is required to receive and to play the game. One entry per user. Winners will be selected randomly from among eligible entries. Attempts to cheat the system will result in automatic disqualification.
