As most everyone who reads this blog knows by now, I’m pretty into video games. I spend a lot of time talking about them and my need to spend money on them. One of the first games I played on any system, though, was Bionic Commando.

With its sweet theme music awesome, grappling hook mechanic, and your eventual face-off (literally and figuratively) with Hitler, you know that this game is a classic. That’s why when I heard rumbling of a PS3 port/polish of the original game last year, I got really excited.

A few months went by and there was no news. Eventually I read a rumor on Gamespot that the polish/redo of the original game was going so well they were actually going to make it into a whole new game. Not that long ago, screens and video started coming out of the new game. It looks alright but not really anything like the original (besides using the grappling hook/bionic arm concept).

I was afraid that they’d given up on the remake to do the whole new game. It turns out that my fears were unfounded as IGN now has a preview trailer for it up and it’s apparently called Bionic Commando Rearmed. Supposedly Rearmed will be coming out sometime in March and it looks awesome. I’ve watched it at least 4 times today and I don’t stop wanting to make sweet, sweet love to it. So glorious!
