Remakes of a classic game is like a double edge sword; It could turn out to be really awesome,  even surpassing the original or it could end up to be a total burn out.

One of my favourite games of all times, TMNT Turtles in Time has gone through the route of upgrading itself, hoping to be a part of the high definition elite pioneers. The good folks at GameVideos threw in a nice comparison video showing both the past and present.

Here are my thoughts after watching the video;

• They retained the original feel of the music, which is a huge plus plus for me.
• Gameplay remains unchanged. Still the good old hack, slash and slam-o.
• Graphics … Well I just wished they used cel shaded (ala Tales of Vesperia style) instead of 3D. Feels like I’m moving a clay model around the screen -_-”

Regardless I can’t judge the game until I played it. I’m crossing my fingers that Ubisoft will follow the SNES version instead of the arcade. I mean, fighting Super Shredder in hardest mode is totally mind blowing

It has been two weeks since I did any post and I have to say I’m having a rough time trying to get back on track with regular postings. Last night I only managed to write a small portion of my Metal Gear Solid 4 review before calling it quits. Two weeks may seem short to some, but it’s enough to make me sluggish.

I will continue the review tonight. In the mean time watch this E3 2008 trailer of Final Fantasy XIII.

Yes, the new trailer is out, viewable at Capcom’s Official site. I just can’t shake the feeling that I’m watching an “upgraded” Resident Evil 4 video.

Anyway just check it out. It’s good.

Fanboys would probably blast his reviews to death but you got to admit, all the stuff he says are the things we tend to overlook as fans (not fanboysssssss) of Square-Enix or JRPG.

Don’t forget to check out our own review by Neko … that’s ‘o’ not ‘u’.

With this and StarCraft II, I will be heading back to PC gaming in no time
