Exactly a decade since its release, Dragami Games‘ Lollipop Chainsaw is finally getting a remake for current-gen systems.

Featuring early plans of the game’s Outskirts and Metropolis levels, the demo shows the Master Chief protecting the city from a siege.

Kill the lights!” Sergeant Johnson says, breaking the fourth wall after he kicks a Grunt. While loved by fans, the final Halo 2 product bore little resemblance to the E3 demo. It would later be revealed that Bungie reportedly put together the demo out of pressure to show material at E3, knowing that the game would loo...
