I’ve been on this big XLA kick lately and with Bionic Commando: Rearmed and Galaga Legions both as new releases I couldn’t help but indulge.
Galaga Legions is not a simple remake of Galaga. Oh no. It’s completely redone and updated and it’s wild.
Gone are the simple streams of enemy fighters that make a simple formation and then proceed to dive bomb you. Now enemies come streaming in following swirling patterns that will make your head spin. Furthermore, you aren’t limited to side to side movements which makes Legions seem more like modern day shooter than it’s coin-op forefather.
I won’t give too much more away, but the visuals are stunning and the classic skin was a great touch. If you are on the fence, stop putting it off and just spend the 800 points for it.
As a long time gamer, I am no stranger to flying controllers. In fact, some games have driven me to the brink and that has occasionally resulted in purchasing additional controllers. When the Wii was released, controllers continued to be slung through the air, but for a different reason.
Replacing a $40 or $50 controller hurts, but not nearly as bad as replacing a $2000 television. The epidemic became so widespread that a website was launched to let everyone share in the pain of those that either didn’t heed Nintendo’s warning to use the wrist strap or were stung by the first generation straps that were apparently not strong enough to actually keep the remote from leaving your hand.
I recently felt that same pain as my 4yr old sent a matchbox car sailing through the front of my LCD. After doing some research, I found a product that would save us all the pain of experiencing this first hand, TV Armor.

When Rock Band was released last November, I passed on it. I had played Guitar Hero and I sucked at it. I had fun, but I was terrible. I figured Rock Band would be more of the same and instead it would prove to embarrass me in more ways than just my lackluster guitar skills. I’ve fought off Rock Band fever despite the claims of many that it’s one of the greatest gaming experiences out there.
This year at E3, I got a first hand look at what makes Rock Band great and I’m proud to say that I’m hooked. The fine folks at Harmonix and EA invited us to a private demo of the upcoming sequel to the best music game out there, Rock Band 2. READ MORE
As a total newbie to the whole E3 experience, I really had no clue what to expect when heading into the Sony Press Conference at the Shrine Theatre. Upon entering the auditorium, we were greeted by 7 massive screens and 50 some odd smaller displays. The larger screens had people playing Gran Turismo, SOCOM, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Metal Gear Solid, and Pixel Junk Eden.
The presentation had a lot more flash than the Nintendo one, but it was also a lot more mechanical in that Jack Tretton did most of the talking and at times you could tell he was reading from the prompter. Despite that, there were some real gems to come out of the press conference including Resistance 2 and the newly announced MAG. READ MORE
