Beyond Good and Evil, helmed by the criminally underrated Michel Ancel, has gone on to become a cult hit despite its middling retail sales. The game features a female protagonist who is more heart than chest, plus memorable characters, great music, and a story that sticks with you. It's also getting a high-definition makeover for release next year on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

"This will be the same game released in 2003, only now it will have 1080p visuals, the character models are receiving makeovers, textures are being polished, and the soundtrack is being re-mastered," IGN reports. "Achievements/trophies and online leaderboards have also been added."

Ben PerLee from Destructoid had a chance to play the new version of the game, and was impressed. "Having spent time with BG&E HD last night in downtown San Francisco, not only can I confirm that this is the BG&E that fans love, as it is absolutely gorgeous. True, it is the same title many of us played back in 2003, but the new visual overhaul takes this to the next level," he wrote. The framerate is reportedly spotty, but with a 2011 release there is plenty of time to clean that up.

There are a number of games getting HD makeovers and a second chance at life, including Shadow of the Colossus and Ico, Stranger's Wrath, and now Beyond Good and Evil. That's officially a trend, and a very good one for fans of quality games from the past.
