Remember that game that came to the DS in 2008? That one around the time of Scribblenaughts, Drawn to Life and those other weird creative games? Well Lock's Quest is getting a bit of a remaster and coming to home consoles 9 years later.

This comes as a bit of a shock to me. I thought games like that were dead and long gone. Especially after we have entered a whole generation of "safe" gaming. Not that this is exempt from the remake/remaster rule, but this isn't a game I would pick to remaster.
