Another classic from back in the ‘Good Old Days’.  The days of a black screen, and a triangle used to shoot asteroids - and the space ship if you were oh so lucky.  Many of you probably aren’t even old enough to have played the this classic in its glory - hell it was originally released when I was only a wee one year old - but somehow lasted many years later.  For those of you looking for that trip down memory lane, they provided the original game format as well as a shall i say “pimped” edition.  To keep up with todays gaming demands, they upgraded the graphics - it even has COLOR now!  All joking aside the graphics look pretty sweet.  As always another 200 Gamerscore to obtain, and at the budget price of $5. 

Should you buy it?  Give the demo a spin, and decide if you like it enough to buy the full game (thats what the demo is there for) - I might pick it up just to take a walk down memory lane….well that and you all know that I am an xbox live arcade junkie.
