There are many questions that we ask ourselves throughout our lives—one of which is "do games need remakes?". This week, Aaron and Gerry are joined by Joe (formerly of Mega Boobs) to not only answer that question, but also to chat about some good remakes, some bad remakes, and ones that were totally unecessary. Plop them buds into your ears and get ready to rumble.
