Namco Puts Your Childhood on Acid Again with Galaga Legions DX

Posted on Monday, June 27 @ 22:09:53 Eastern by

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.

    Galaga will always have a special place in my heart, my mother was a video gamer, and the old galaga was her battleground. i never knew that untill i re downloaded the classic and the new once for xbox live.
    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.

    It's like Galaga through a crystal meth and old grand-dad filter.
