Best Remake - Bionic Commando Rearmed

Now this is how developers should treat retro games on Xbox Live Arcade. Unlike the multitudes of retro re-releases on XBLA that offer slightly updated graphics (if even that) and leaderboards, the developers at GRIN really went above and beyond with Bionic Commando Rearmed. Beautiful graphics, new gameplay mechanics, new weapons, giant boss battles, and a kick ass soundtrack. Throw in dozens of challenge levels, couch co-op and multiplayer and you've got a retro release done right.

Let's hope other developers and publishers can follow Capcom's example.
