Namco Bandai seems to be doing a bang-up job of bringing their arcade classic into the modern era. Games can certainly move a lot faster now, but these new fangled processors and graphics chips can also populate the screen with more enemies, provide developers with more colors, and even pump some pretty awesome music into your ears.

That last bit is probably what I'm most impressed with in the trailer above. Mmmmmm, that soundtrack sounds great. The music was easily my favorite part of Pac-Man Championship Edition DX. The latest update to classic arcade action, Galaga Legions DX, will be available XBLA this week and PSN at a later date.

she struggled with the controls at first but once she got a feel for it she was a damn site better than me and some of my friends. Moms can be pretty freaking cool, still trying to break her record.0 0Like or Dislike?Posted: Jun 28th, 2011 at 7:31 amKese_ArcadeKese_Arcade - Joined: May 2, 2011It's like Galaga through a crystal meth and old grand-dad filter.0 0Like or Dislike?Posted: Jun 28th, 2011 at 8:47 am

I feel so old.

The year 2011 is turning out to be dedicated to making gamers everywhere feel old. My favorite game in the world is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time . Nintendo just released a remake of the game yesterday as of writing. Reading some of Nintendo's Iwata Asks segments on the game, I've come to realize, that I feel really old. I'm only 22. I was a 90's kid. And I feel old because of this game. Let's think about it. Ocarina of Time , lovingly referred to...
