Today sees the release of Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed. This is said to be "a completely remade" release of the classic action game where you are a disgruntled alien wreaking havoc on humans. While this is said to be a "remake" I think this is more akin to a remaster given that it plays identical to the original release, bugs and all. At this point, publishers and developers calling things remakes, remasters, or re-whatevers are so muddied...
