I remember spending countless hours playing at Hindley Street Arcades in Adelaide, long gone thanks to modern consoles and broadband internet (oh, and crime). Downtown, Timezone Meridian, Twilight Zone, The Tilt. One of my favourite games was NBA JAM, which etched phrases such as "from downtown" and "he's on fire" into my mind forever.
Well, for those who didn't know, the classic title has been revitalised and is on its way to a re-release. A debut trailer has been produced showing off some of the gameplay for your viewing pleasure. It seems to be a faithful reincarnation - justice has been done.
It has been rumored for the better part of the week, but now it's concrete. Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge is coming to PSN, Xbox LIVE, PC and iPhone very shortly. And it's no surprise - the remaster of the first has proven a massive success.
"The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition really resonated with gamers young and old" said LucasArts' President Darrell Rodriguez. "We're adding even more great new features in this sequel and can't wait for classic Monkey Island fans and newcomers alike to experience perhaps the most beloved installment in the franchise ever."

You read right. More server maintenance - this time to add new hardware. A truckload of it, hopefully. The official word from DICE is "Tomorrow, 12th March, and Saturday, 13th March at 8:00GMT/9:00 CET:12:00 (midnight) PST, EA will take the servers down, this time we will come up with even more hardware with more capacity to handle all the BFBC2 traffic."
8:00am GMT means 6pm AEST (7pm AEDT) for Australians. It's promised that once completed we will "experience an improvement to your online experience". Let's hope so! Thanks to Joshuayu101 for the heads-up.
Cost price for everyone, except Ronan. ;)
Merchandise at cost price until Monday
