1UP.com posted an excellent interview with Ben Judd, the producer of Bionic Commando Rearmed. Judd's insight is interesting, especially his revelation about Rearmed's story connecting to the next-gen game coming out for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3:
"Making the story for this was great. It was a lot of fun, actually, because you have a little bare-bones story from the NES. (...) One of the things we added in was that the main character has a wife. And you find out that his wife left him when you're talking to different people in the game. He says, "I don't know why she left. Maybe she doesn't like a military man." Later, you find out something happened to his wife, and you find out in the next-gen -- it ties into the next-gen game."
Maybe I'm too much of a girl sometimes, but I'm always very interested in the emotional aspect of video games. I thought, Radd Spencer has a wife? What does she look like?
I hope you appreciate the concept sketch behind the jump. I put many backbreaking hours into it.

I'm open to names for the dog. I was thinking of Awesome the Wonder Westie, but suggestions are welcome.
Coming up next: Bionic Baby. Okay, not really.
