GrE writes, "It must be really hard trying to create a unique and innovative 3rd person shooter these days. With so many games out in the genre, from titles like Gears of War to Stranglehold and all points in-between, you have to think that virtually every innovative idea has already been used, so creating something that stands out from the crowd becomes very difficult indeed. Some developers don't try to create something that dissimilar from the rest, instead choosing to try and perfect the formula and make an unmissable game. Others try something a little different, trying to grab your attention with some kind of hook or gimmick. Then there are games like WET, who try to stand out from the crowd by a strong visual and presentational style. Stand out it certainly does, but does it do enough to hold your attention after reeling you in? Read on to find out more..."

There were a number of cult classics that didn't sell like gangbusters, but still worked their way into gamers' hearts. Here's WWG list of nine great titles that deserve a second chance on newer consoles
I'll point out that these games are all from the X360/PS3 era - they've already had HD releases when they first came out. Split/Second and Blur - with the crazy vehicle physics capable today, why would we not want sequels to them?
The other games, all a matter of opinion of course, but... thank you for your ads between every single game. /s
Problem with sequels is that they aren't very likely. Activision dropped Blur like a bad habit, and Disney isn't doing games anymore. So I'll happily take the originals.
As much as I'd kill for a Demon's Souls remake, isn't likely. We'll probably get Bloodborne 2 instead.
Dafuq kinda title is that? These games were already released on HD consoles though...
Is the largely forgotten, 2009 game Wet worth a second look? Miguel Penabella considers the game in relation to grindhouse films and the phenomenon of the "B-game".
Despite what I have heard about this game, I am still interested... even though it seems fairly misogynistic
Do games like this make you start to worry about what female gamers think?
I'd recommend the demo. nothing about it made me want to go buy the game.
I played it across a weekend and I did quite enjoy it, but for the most part it is pretty average. Fun if you can find it dirt cheap though.
This is one of the more meh looking games i have seen.
