Quick, Blerk, invoke your award-winning powers and make us all laugh so that we'll feel better. Edit: Thank you :D That, and it’s been kind of a depressing year — what with the economic downturn and all.

I wonder if it's as exciting for kids these days as it was when we were youngsters? The blistering over-excess of the late 70s/early 80s Christmas had to be seen to be believed. The house always looked bare once you'd taken the 25 tons of tinsel and crap down in January. :-) We’re probably just getting old.

And skippable cut-scenes. I doubt they'd have to do much work to the visuals - the bullshots they released for PR at the time were the base assets rendered in HD and they looked awesome. Or do a "Warhawk" and make it a download-only online shooter. Black in HD, totally untouched, as an XBLA and PSN title please with added online co-op. And skippable cut-scenes.

The guns were meaty, and the enemies and set pieces drove the game forward nicely. It did however screw up checkpoints quite spectacularly, and the pick up requirements could also be hamstrung by pushing the player beyond a point of no return, thus resulting in you being a third of the way through the level, with no way to back track and collect the necessary pieces of evidence. Killzone 2 reminds me of how a Black sequel would look and play. Love to see what Criterion could do with it today though, Burnout was/is great, but it's not exactly done the business for EA.

Apart from RE4 and the MGS series, Black was one of my all time favorites on PS2. Don't know how many times I played through this game even though I never managed to clear the very last room. The story was rubbish though. Please Criterion/EA, make it happen! Bring it on. Apart from RE4 and the MGS series, Black was one of my all time favorites on PS2.
