Bionic Commando & BC Rearmed

I have not been on the Xbox Live Arcade for a while… I could have done a big mistake : missing the HD remake of Bionic Commando. It is a classic NES game that I really loved younger. The character is a commando armed with a powerfull bionic arm/glove that you can use to swing or grab objects. You will face an army of fanatized soldiers.

Bionic Commando in action !

BC Rearmed refreshes the game for Xbox 360 and PC. A free demo is available on the Xbox Live (with many easter eggs). The hero is a “Duke Nukem-like”. Try and you will be conquered ! The game is pretty difficult and, one last thing, you can’t jump… Thta’s the idea on the bionic arm.

I really encourage you to visit the BC rearmed web site which contains some pages about the original game. It is a god work !

For the collectors, the original insert of the NES game :

Among the few NES games that marked me is Capatin Skyhawk (an MB game) : a very fun game shoot in isometric 3D. It is similar to the arcade classic Zaxxon from SEGA. You have to repel an alien invasion with your tuned F14 fighter. You can replay this game directly in your browser : http://www.nintendo8.com/game/741/captain_skyhawk/ !
