[Editor's note: ZombiePlatypus gets May's Monthly Musing finally kicked off. For this "If you love it, change it", ZombiePlatypus takes a look at the Rampage series. -- CTZ]

I’ve always liked the Rampage series. Be it in the arcades or staying up all night with the NES version back in the day, Rampage has been an addiction of mine. I have a good time wrecking identical buildings over and over again for hours, so sue me. I bought the first two Midway Arcade Treasure collections pretty much just for the Rampage games. I still get a kick out of the mindless fun out of the older games.

The thing is the series hasn’t evolved at all. No matter how many sequels come out, it’s still pretty much the same game that it was a couple decades ago, just with more monsters. That being the case, I haven’t felt the need to buy any of the recent Rampages, not when the classics are readily available. I have some ideas that could fix that though. Hit the jump for my thoughts.
