We often wonder how we could get more variety in games, and at the same time, enable developers to take a few risks, yet not face bankrupcy in doing so.

OXCGN writer asks the question, how could developers do that, perhaps with compilations of HD levels extracted from several games on the one disc.

Much like Valve did with the Orange Box, which contained several games, gave each style of player something to get their teeth into, yet still enabled a long-term sale value for the publisher.

Have a read, it's well worth the effort, and the click of the right finger on the mouse.

Let’s face it: these days it is getting terribly hard for gamers to justify buying lots of expensive new release games and for publishers of console games to make a buck.

Sequels abound, and new IPs struggle.

So what’s the solution?

How about: not make a new game necessarily at all?

Certainly there is a lot of re-releasing of such games as Perfect Dark HD, Splinter Cell HD, Tomb Raider HD, Medal of Honor Frontline HD, COD HD, and the rumoured Halo HD.

But that’s not what I’m talking about.

Nostalgia trips are not always worth the whole voyage of an entire game revisited. But how about something else: a ‘best of’ HD compilation of iconic levels from series past?
