News::'The Legend of Zelda' marks its 30th birthday

Gamers, you have permission to feel old once again: The Legend of Zelda just turned 30. Nintendo released the classic action-adventure in Japan on the Famicom Disk System (it wasn't even a cartridge at the time) all the way back on February 21st, 1986, kicking off one of the biggest franchises in video game history. The series has since sold tens of millions of copies -- over 75 million at last count -- and has had a presence on virtually every Nintendo system to date.

News::Hints emerge of 'BioShock' remasters for PS4 and Xbox One

You might not have to resort to emulation (or dragging out an old console) to play the BioShock series in your living room. A Brazilian ratings board has listed a BioShock: The Collection bundle headed to both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, suggesting that all three of the retro-futuristic games will be remastered to play on modern consoles. There's no mention of a release date, but it comes a few months after a South African store briefly offered a similar collection for pre-orders -- something's up here. We'd take this with a grain of salt when 2K Games hasn't said anything. All the same, you shouldn't be surprised if you're revising Columbia or Rapture in the near future.
