I need to go just as bad as you. What I had this morning, I don't even want to say to you. My greatest dream has come true. Okay, so that's not a part of the official rap. But this is exciting news, yo.

Parappa the Rapper has been acknowledged by the video game industry again as a real game. It's one of my favorites of all time, and it's making a reappearance in the form of a 20th anniversary edition, with a demo available right now. It looks all smooth, shiny and updated, which is pretty awesome.

Of course, that's not nearly as good news as it could have been (like a sequel, perhaps, or another Um Jammer Lammy?). But I'm happy to see it being given another chance at life, along with the likes of new versions of Patapon and LocoRoco, remastered and glossy as all heck. You can grab the demo today, if you're salivating at the mouth like me.
