I'm not sure if this should be placed as an additional download to Ben Jordan 1 or as a seperate game. However, if it lives up to what it claims to achieve, it should receive its own seperate review as it contains:

*Revamped graphics
*Extended storyline
*Full Voice Acting

Here is the link to the game's page on the AGS website.

I'm downloading this. For sure.

Looks interesting, makes me wonder if it's going to happen with 2 and 3 too.

I hope he will optimize the other games as well, however I would first like to see the continuation of the series. I found the intromovie of this version quite odd, as he mentions something that didn't happen yet in the series, at least not yet in Ben Jordan 5 (though anyone who saw the ending of Ben Jordan 4 could have predicted something along those lines)

Indeed that would be nice the continuation, but if he wants to do the optimization of the others, if that's in the cards that is, so much the better.

It appears as if he's trying to link the games a bit more together. This is probably because, whilst creating Ben Jordan 3, he had the idea to create a bigger, overarching, storyline.
In Ben Jordan 5 this is very obvious, (visions of Smailholm, recurring characters), but in the first three games this is not the case. Perhaps he is going to change that.

No doubt, would be nice to see what happens in the next while, good to see that some developers going back and doing this sort of thing, we'll see how it plays out.
