H21: "When my son was born nearly five years ago, I had visions of playing catch with him in the backyard, watching him play sports, go to college, and, of course, play video games with me. Now that he’s close to five years old, he’s able to take simple game concepts and adapt to them. Last night I had a fun time playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled on Xbox LIVE Arcade. It not only got me excited about the upcoming years, but I was also impressed to watch as his gamer skills improved."
"We may take digital downloads on console for granted nowadays but let's go back to when they became popularised and decide which platform offered the superior service." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Video game remakes are a special thing, as typically no one sets out to remake a game that was poorly received when it was originally launched but instead it’s usually only the best of the best that get the remake treatment. Games that reviewed well, were a hit with fans and (maybe most importantly) sold well are often chosen for remakes (why do you think there are so many Final Fantasy and Zelda remakes?) so it stands to reason that most remakes – are typically quite good (check out our list of the best remakes ever)… typically. So today we’re dragging these games out of the gutter to remember why they earned the title of worst remakes of all time, whether it’s because they turned a perfectly good experience sour or are just bad games in their own right."
