The retro games keep on coming back. IGN has an exclusive where they reveal the very first details and screenshots of Codemasters' upcoming game Cannon Fodder, a remake of the classic Commidore Amiga game. But unlike most of the other retro games that we've seen, this goes the extra mile and is a real remake: with new graphics and gameplay, updated for the current generation. You and a team of soldiers will fight it out on-foot and in vehicles, while being able to call air strikes and radar sweeps. The game will offer four player deathmatch and co-op modes.

If they bring back Firepower or its 3DO platform sequel Return Fire, I'll be in heaven...

Holy mother of god.... I LOVE this game! I played this game a lot on my Atari Jaguar and have missed it since. I played a poor, poor remake of this on the Game Boy and it wasn't even fun.
I am so there when this comes out. For me, this is one of the killer titles to have. Now if Medal Of Honor ever decides to make it's way to the PSP, I think I'll give up sleep (well, not really, but I'll play my PSP a lot more than I do now).

Awesome! My 8th grade language teacher helped develop the original Cannon Fodder.

#1, did you try Mass Drestruction fot Saturn/PlayStation? That was a great stab at the Return Fire formula.

Oh, such great news. One of my favourite games on the Amiga. I hope they keep the "War, never been so much fun!" song.
