peachey @ November 21, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Typically these “games that need remakes” lists are full of games that are either a) ones I’ve never heard of or b) ones I couldn’t care less about.  This list from gametrailers.com, however, is awesome.  Frankly, any list that includes the less than well received but personally loved Killer Instinct is already well in my […]
