No, I'm not saying Action 52 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_52), the infamous Nintendo game, Owns (I hate that word). Rather this is the official title of an indie game designers collaboration which purpose was to remake all the Action 52 games. Currently only 28 games have been remade and the project has lost momentum so it's unlikely anymore will be finished. Still some of these remakes are amazing (admittedly some are only marginally better than the originals).

Illuminator
Streemerz (you'll want to play the flash version since it has added features)
Sombreros
Storm Over the Desert
Jigsaw (at first this seems like a generic platformer but it's a pretty cool puzzle game. Your nailgun works a lot like the plunger in Quakshot, except you can only have three nails shot out at a time. Your first nail disintegrates when you exceed that number)
Non-Human (not finished, but far along enough that you don't notice until near the end of hard mode)
Space Dreams

Other games in the collab are definitely worth playing, these are just my favorites.

When I saw this title, I was seriously thinking you're extremely lame for using the word "owns" like that.

But Action 52 DOES own.

One word: Cheetahmen

I liked how the only quality thing was the "It takes two" music on the intro.

You guys are either fucking retarded, or the worst hipster faggots on the internet.
