There are a lot of HD collections coming out lately, but what about the games that stand alone? The original titles and one-offs? There are some great games that, for one reason or another, weren't fortunate enough to be part of/turned into a franchise. So, instead of a collection, tell me about three original, unconnected titles you would like to see re-released in HD. I'll start

• Viewtiful Joe
  
  I loved Viewtiful Joe from the moment I started it. I was incredible fun, beautiful to look at and very clever and well-designed (apart from the "ZOMG fight like ten bosses in a row!!" ending). As a two-dimensional action-game, VJ was already old-school the moment it released. Today, there are titles in that genre all over XBLA and PSN. I'm sure it would be a hit. And the graphics! Think of the graphics!
• American McGee's Alice
  
  The sequel to Alice is one of my most anticaped games of the year. It's apparently very focused on it's narrative though (which I love when games do), but I haven't played the first. It was a PC exlusive released in 2000. Why not convert the graphics to HD and throw in on PSN/XBLA?
• Final Fantasy VIII
  
  I know, I know. "But FF is a major franchise!" Yeah, but if SE ever does decide to remake one of the PS1 games, they would only do one; I'm certain of that. As indifferent to the game as I am, it would probably be FFVII also.
  
  But...
  
  I've never played FFVIII. The premise of the plot sounds more interesting to me than FFVII or even FFIX. I have however read quite a bit about the game and if popular opinion is to be believed, perhaps SE could muck around with that battle system a bit while redoing those graphics. It'll probably never happen, but I want it to.
  

Now, go! Commence the sharing of opinions!!

An FFVIII HD remake does appear very unlikely, especially since they already have the game up on PSN. They're also quite spent in terms of development teams with so many games on their plate currently.

My number one wish for an HD remake is Okami! It's one of the best PS2 games in my opinion, and seeing Ammy in HD graphics in MvC3 only makes me want an HD remake even more! Just thinking about how the world and characters would look in an updated version makes me drool, lol.

Hm...time for my list...

1. As always, this is one game that I always want remade: Ace Combat 5. It was already good on the PS2, with fun gameplay and very nice graphics and a compelling story. Not many games, for me, had the charm as AC5. It was dogfighting at its best.

2. Skies of Arcadia. I've never played the game, but I've heard that it was very fun. And after playing Valkyria Chronicles, I've started to like the main characters of Skies. But now it's a hard-to-find game and I think that I deserves an update into the current generation of games.

3. This is going to be awkward, but Time Crisis 3. I loved playing that game at a neighbor's house. Arcade shooting...I loved it. An update in graphics would help, and it could help improve sales of motion controllers.

Not my typical list. Couple different ones than the ones of the past. But it did ask for unrelated games...

There was an announcement today that there's going to be a code with Madness Returns that'll allow you to download and play the original! So yeah... You're more or less getting what you want!I'm pretty excited about this too.
