This week we get into the mess that is RE-inventing games! We REcount the history of updating and modernizing older games. Why do we love playing new versions of older games? Why are they even REmade? What happens when they go horribly wrong? Join us as we chart remakes, remasters and ports from the 80s to today, both the hits we love and the misses we love to pick apart.
