Title- "Cla$$ic Games with Crappy New Sequals or Remakes"

Hey, gamers tntkng here starting my weekly blog. Have you ever played a cla$$ic game and then be dissapointed when the sequal or remake came out? Common offenders of this are: Bionic Commando, Alone in the Dark, Wolfenstein, Perfect Dark Zero, and Turok. The originals were cla$$ics and some revolutionized the way we play games today, but the less than average remakes or sequals seem to me to diminish the reputation of these cla$$ic franchises. Perfect Dark first came out on the Nintendo 64 and was one of the best FPS games of its generation, however the remake was a mess of tired FPS gameplay elements and weak graphics. Turok was a cla$$ic PC shooter and immediately made me a fan of FPS game, but after playing the sequal last year I was dissapointed that there was such little polish was given to the game. The game was not bad,but it could have been better. Alone in the Dark was a cla$$ic and inventive game with a scary as hell atmosphere. The remake is among my worst games of all time, it was just a mess, the controls didn't work, the graphics were bad, and the combat and driving were just broken. Is this the way to treat remakes and sequals of cla$$ic games that were loved by so many? I don't think so. How long have fans waited for a great Spyro or Crash Bandicoot game? Well thats it for this week's blog, if you liked it check out next weeks. Thanks,tntkng.

So there it is! What did you guys think of it? Have my blogs gotten better? Thanks for reading guys! :)
