Originally developed by Disney Interactive and released by Buena Vista Interactive in 1995 for the Sega Genesis, Gargoyles is a platformer based on the cult classic animated series of the same name. It consists of five levels and features Goliath as the protagonist, seeking to destroy the Eye of Odin. Though planned to release for the Super NES, this version was ultimately cancelled.

Gargoyles received critical praise, though some criticized the controls. Despite this, it’s one of the less known 2D platformers of its time. It should be interesting to see how the remaster further improves the graphics and gameplay. Stay tuned for more details on the same in the coming months.

Dead Island 2 is stuck in development limbo, what with its developer abruptly being made to leave the project, and the creator of the franchise, Techland, now being busy with Dying Light. At this point, a lot of people have probably reasonably started to assume that the IP is, well, suspended, if not outright dead.

But it seems that may be us jumping the gun a bit- you see, the Australian Classification Board has leaked something called Dead Island: Retro Rampage, which sounds awesome to me, because I get the image of an 8 bit NES era beat em up with zombies in it.

According to classification board’s database, the multi-platform title was developed by Empty Clip Studios; we don’t know when it’s meant to come out, but it’s rated M, and it has some kind of online component to it.

Hopefully, this one fares better than the cancelled Dead Island spin off, or the terrible Escape Dead Island.
