Gorgeous new screens from the XBLA/PSN remake to satiate your lust for the sequel

Upscaledto 1080P, and pimped out with sharper textures and whole bunch of other tweaking and digi-preening that we won't try to explain for fear of having to make things up, they're a perfect way to convince yourself that you actually have a proper current-gen BG&E game wile you wait for a genuine one to turn up. You know, like the way you convince yourself thata closing-time rebound looks just like your ex through a blurred veil of whiskey tears. Let the glorious denial commence!

Desperate denials of deep-seated emotional pain aside though, BG&EHD is very very pretty indeed. In fact this cleaned up version is a great reminder of howfresh and vibrantthe original game's production design really was. Personally I can't wait to give it another play through. How's about you? Looking forward to the new and improved version, or are you one of those heartless puppy-kickers who didn't play it the first time round and now desperately need to? You people need to sort your lives out. You make me sick.
