I don’t usually go for remasters, but the XBLA remake that Aleph One uses is really well done. In particular, I really like the crisp and vibrant textures that stay true to the originals:
Only 43 megabytes for the textures too, a far cry from some multi-gigabyte texture packs in other games that add almost imperceptible improvement to in-game visuals.
Some highlights at the time:

Some highlights at the time:
- Free look with the mouse.
- Hold down fire to charge shots.
- Alt fire with multiple ammo types.
- Weapon in each hand, including dual-shotguns.
- Extremely immersive ambient sounds.
- Underwater swimming with associated sounds, physics and visuals.
- Wall recharge stations.
- In-depth story for an FPS.
- A killer series for the Mac platform that made PC gamers jealous.
