Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, out later this month, is set five years after the events of the first game, Fallen

Dedicated fans are out there uploading new rosters for old sports games all the time, but this new update for 2010’s NBA Jam goes above and beyond by adding so much new stuff that it’s practically an all-new game.

I’m anxiously awaiting Capcom’s, so far, highly praised Resident Evil 4 remake, but not because I’m preoccupied by updated fight mechanics, or graphical fidelity, or any monsters, really—I’ve been thinking about skirts.
