Nice! This is a close port of the arcade game which is now available on Virtual Console and on Tecmo Classic Arcade for Xbox, a collection I should have but don't. I've got to go find it now.
It makes me think of The Batman Animated Series that aired in Sept of '92. What a great show that was.
Your Steam name "sharky" makes me think of ex-1UP's Scott Sharkey. I miss his snarkiness. Oh yea... about Steam. I'm hoping to get some of my old computers up and running just so I can do Steam and GoodOldGames and such. I try and keep games off my laptop. Too distracting.
Oh yea. I have Pac-Man World 1 and 2 for GBA. I tried PMW2 last year and apparently didn't like it because I rated it 2 out of 5 stars in my personal data base. I don't remember a thing about it other than that.
I love the graphics and look of the game.
I wish there was a site that listed all the new indie game releases. Metacritic doesn't list them even if they are on XBLI. I usually find out about them word of mouth like I did for Penny Arcade Adventures IV and the other Zeboyd games.
Yes, but not on a first playthrough for most games. I want to experience the game without the distraction of achievements/trophies. Some games though, I pick up just to go for achievements/trophies and then I plan my playthrough carefully so I don't miss a reward.
It's funnier how Pac-Man got so popular but then so little was done to keep the IP going. It should've been like Mario games and had a long list of sequels. Thing is, I guess, maze games in general kinda got outdated pretty quickly with improvements in hardware. Still, why not a Pac-Man platformer? We could've had Super Pac-Man, Super Pac-Man World, Super Pac-Man Sunshine and Super Pac-Man Galaxy. Anyone?
I know. I can't wait for a new Advance Wars. I think the last one was 2008. Where's one for 3DS!
Wasn't Record of Agarest War a SRPG on 360?
XCom: Enemy Unknown came out and there's Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars on 3DS which is basically a handheld version of XCom: EU (It was made by some guys who did the very first X-Com). Then there's developer Firaxis who just released some strategy games on iOS like Sid Meier's Ace Patrol and Haunted Hollow. Then there's Skulls of the Shogun on XBLA this year which reminds me of Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen. Finally I started hearing rumors of a new Advance Wars coming to 3DS. So I think the genre is pretty healthy even though a FFT or TO sequel hasn't come out yet. That is disappointing, I agree.
