Man, I really hope so. Last Saturday I went to Best Buy and bought "Army of Two" for $50 and then came home and bought Bionic Commando: ReArmed for $10 and I played Army of Two with my brother for an hour or two and got really tired with it. Then we booted up BC and I've been playing for days.

I really love platform games, and I would just love to see remakes/new sequels of this quality for Metroid, Metal Warriors, Castlevania, Rygar, Legendary Axe, etc etc. I would be 100% back into gaming on the console with more of the same.

I’m surprised it’s not on Steam.

Now, now, Richard, we are talking about console games here.

They do have a PC version I heard for $15. Why the PC version is more expensive is beyond me. I downloaded mine for the PS3.

I see. How’s the PS3 working out for you, Is it worth it?

PROS:

1) Good Blu-Ray playback and upconversion alleviating the need for another DVD player.
2) GrandTheftAuto 4 (its growing on me)
3) Tekken 5
4) Bionic Commando:Rearmed
5) Its not a Wii
6) Its not a Xbox

CONS:
1) No backwards playback of PS1 and PS2 games on my console
2) Very poor selection of games so far, but that is partly because I think 99% of modern console games suck
3) Some difficulty with playback of burned DVDs

So yeah, working fine for me. I am not a huge console nut, so I don't feel the need to have more than one system. Also, the PS3 works nice with my Bravia. I bought it for the purpose of game play AND BluRay.

Bart

Which version did you get? Mine is backward compatible with every game I've ever tried in it. (PS1 & PS2)
The only non backward compatibility issue I've experienced, was trying to load saved data from PS1 memory cards.

Dude, what about Contra!

Dude, what about Contra!

Yeah, Contra was great, there are so many good ones, we are talking dozens of games I could get into if brough back and done right, like Bionic Commando.
