Galaga Special Edition for Android spins out (pictures)
The classic standup arcade game Galaga has made its way onto the Android platform. We take a closer look at the new version's updated graphics and unfortunately disappointing gameplay.
As expected, Galaga Special Edition sports some updated graphics. They're nowhere near console-quality, but they're definitely better than the '80s originals.
In the original Galaga game, enemies would eventually settle in a grid formation in the center of the screen. With this updated version, though, they continue to fly around in all directions.
The companion satellite can be deployed to help mow down enemies. However, with its unpredictable directional shooting, it sometimes doesn't help at all.
