Rayman 2: The Great Escape captured by GOG
If you don't feel like buying a 3DS and a $40 cartridge to play Rayman 2: The Great Escape -- but you don't want to buy a used copy -- GOG provides another alternative. The DRM-averse online retailer has added the PC version of Rayman 2 to its store, charging the customary $5.99. That's a steal for one of the greats of the 3D platforming genre, especially since GOG throws in a 91-track soundtrack download with the game. Rayman Forever, a version of the first 2D Rayman game with assorted extras, is also available on GOG.

Rayman 2: The Great Escape coming to iPhone March 1
Prolific mobile publisher Gameloft has revealed its next project: An iPhone/iPod Touch port of Ubisoft's N64 platformer, Rayman 2: The Great Escape. Let's get our obligatory naysaying out of the way, so it won't sour the rest of the post: "But, it doesn't have buttons! How are we supposed to make well-timed jumps while avoiding sharp, pointy obstacles without buttons?" We can't answer that for you, dear reader. You have to answer that for yourself. The good news is that the game looks surprisingly faithful to its original iteration. You can watch a trailer for the title, which is due out March 1 on the App Store, after the jump.
