Article excerpt from joystiq.com — "Much like Cher, Bionic Commando Rearmed has taken something old and freshened it up with the help of modern technology -- but much of the same ol' game is still there, caked under the cosmetic changes.

Wait... is the guy wearing acid washed jeans?!?! He's like Don Johnson and uh... well another Don Johnson's offspring. Maybe it's just the small picture.

You should be!!!! I am going to go out on a limb and say that it's his face AND body, because, as I recall, Cher was wearing that electrical-tape-as-thong-slash-questionable-leotard in that video. The horror.

I downloaded this the other day, and I've been pretty happy with it. They really captured the 8-bit feel (music and art) but made it feel a little less clunky. So far so good! It's a bit tough though.
