Wait, what's supposed to be good about this?! At worst they're going to ruin a timeless classic... At best they're just going to milk by slightly changing the graphics and other miscellaneous minor BS.

Objection! At worst they're going to clone a timeless classic with new corny, un-thought-out "modern" features just to make a quick buck, but I won't care coz I've got the originals.
I just hope they avoid the MMORPG-ness of Dragon Age.

They're simply doing a "HD" remake I think, with new UI and some added content. I'm happy with it Not because it's gonna be all the more awesome than the original, but because the game is being put in the spotlight once again and that can only be a good thing.
