Why Don't You Call Me I Feel Like Flying In Too...

1-Up.com has the lowdown on the game currently topping my Most Anticipated XBLA shortlist (which, to be honest, is a very very short list,) namely Rez HD. With some shiny graphical updates (although it's still very stripped down) and added Widescreen and 5.1 Sound it's promising to be a faithful update of the classic original (4:3 screen configuration is available for the purists out there.)

Chuck in the fact that you can now have up to three additional controllers buzzing on the beat to replace the rarely seen Rez Trance Vibrator and I think this is the HD update to beat all.

Also of interest at this juncture is the (possibly NSFW, contains suggestive, but clothed, photos) GameGirlAdvance "review" of the original Rez with the Trance Vibrator. Way to get the girls involved!

lol @ this wikipedia quote re. the Trance Vibrator:

"Unstable drivers are also available for Unix -based operating systems"

Got this. It's a real trip down memory lane, but still one of the most interesting and absorbing shooters I've ever played. The introduction of Achievements should keep me coming back too.

The 'HD' upgrade seems fairly minimal, although I've not compared it with the bundled classic mode yet.
