Recently I've spent more time playing older (style) games than newer ones, but it can just be any game you'd like to see updated, put out again on PSN/Live or whatever:

Streets of Rage

Worms (I've never liked the newer cartoony graphics or style of targeting)

Double Dragon

The old Alien Vs. Predator arcade game:

Cannon Fodder

What would you like to see make a comeback in whatever form? :D

G-Police. Loved the game on the Playstation and haven't seen anything similar since. Modern graphics could do this game a lot of justice.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Rampage would be another good one, especially with 3D cities and buildings. Probably a little short, but could you imgaine the online play if not only having the option to be a monster, but ground troops or apache pilots as well. 8-)

I agree completely :D

A decent Blade game would be good (as in the Marvel/film character)

Predator in some fashion

I've just realised there's no light gun for the PS3 IIRC... Is that right? :?

Streets of rage

Excitebike 64

Donkey Kong (interestingly in a catch 22 as MS own the studio that made the games but Ninty own the IP so a new one wouldn't really have the right feel)

Grim Fandango, the game was amazing

Hostage This was a great game but I think Counterstrike has already remade this one several times over. Looking back now one of my favourite points was drilling a terrorist, and if you could keep aim becuase of the recoil were able to put a few mags worth (read infinite) of rounds in him. :twisted:

Starglider is another one that could benefit from a graphics update. The original was used on a childrens TV show but I think the sequel was better becuase of the diversity, range and complexity. Space Whales FTW! :D

Valhalla. An up to date Viking adventure game.

The graphics would be better than this:

Those were great games.

I’d say Elite - but I know that there is a modern version of that kicking around.

Syndicate is coming back, but it's very early days yet :)
