Great presentation, Fascinating extras, Userfriendly tweaks, BanjoKazooie
Some slowdown
Rare Replay is an incredible package. Its presentation is charming, the extras are amazing, and so many of the games included here are still a blast to play. Whether it's your first time through or you're revisiting decades later, Rare's journey through t...

Abstract: With this hardware generation seemingly locked into a cycle of re-releases and remasters, it takes a certain stroke of genius to make a common or garden compilation appealing. Generous to a fault, and stuffed with more than its fair share of stone cold ti...
30 games, most of them legendary, Engaging Snapshot and Playlist game modes, Handy rewind and auto-save features, Fascinating behind-the-scenes videos, Viva Pinata 1 and 2
