Because of Brash’s licensed-IP modus operandi, one has to assume someone left an “s” out somewhere, and the game will be tied — in some fashion — to the Six Flags chain of amusement parks.

But can you remember back to the days when the name “Cliff Bleszinski” brought to mind images of an adorable rabbit wearing a bandana, rather than a bulky douchebag slicing up aliens with a chainsaw. ThoughGears of War 2will probably be the furthest thing from your mind if you playJazz Jackrabbit, it’s still really damned interesting to check out CliffyB’s old side-scrolling shooter — partially because it’s the complete tonal opposite of his current stuff, and partially because it’s still a pretty fun game....
