Sure, I was saddened to learn that I’d never be able to play such Xbox Live titles as ‘ Halo 2’ and ‘ Rainbow Six 3’ when they switched off the network for the original Xbox, but there was one title I was really going to miss…. Given that DICE has now wrapped up its work on Battlefield 3 (with more than likely a small team continuing to produce DLC), it seems like the perfect time for them to get into this HD Remake game with a title that some of you may have forgotten. Digital Distribution on the other hand (as seen by BG&E) is a perfect platform, usually priced much more reasonably, but it seems to be harder to get the word out about the release.

Retail on one hand gives a lot more exposure for the title, and usually requires a bigger marketing push. These remakes have seen differing types of releases, both in retail and via digital distribution. Others, such as the ‘ Splinter Cell’ and ‘ Prince Of Persia’ Trilogies make a nice addition to a fans library (and I personally love those games), but are seemingly unnecessary, partly because they aren’t that old, and also since they’ve just been up-scaled to HD, with no real love or care put into the project unlike Bungie’s benchmark shooter. Some, for example ‘ Halo Anniversary’, have been given both a new coat of paint and the chance to be introduced to a new potential market especially given that some gamers today may have been too young to experience the watershed moment that the original was back when it launched aside the original Xbox in 2001. Over the last year, HD remakes have seemingly been either praised or dismissed.
