    While some classic arcade games (like old episodes of the "Thundercats" cartoon) are more fit for reminiscence than actual play, Time Pilot proves that what was mind-blowingly awesome back in the day can still detonate brains just as well now.

    Seriously, it really makes you feel like you're back in the arcades, listening to bad 80's music in a darkened coin-operated world with your friends watching you play as you take on the competition — it's amazing and truly brings back an experience I haven't felt in years.

    While I would've liked to have seen a better realized multiplayer mode and more difficult achievements to unlock, the game remains a joy to play. The graphic and sound touch-ups are welcome as well, instead of just bothersome cosmetic additions.

    Honestly, it's "Asteroids" with prettier, smarter rocks...and a hell of a lot more adrenaline. [Nov. 2006, p.78]

A Live Arcade game from the old arcade days that retains all of the tight gameplay of the original, while adding some new twists to keep things fresh. Time Pilot is also tailor-made for the 360's analog stick, with a feel as close to the original coin-op as I've played outside an arcade. I'm knocking it 2 points because the Enhanced mode's graphics actually make the game more difficult, due to the cluttered background. Even so... nicely done, Digital Eclipse! Bandai Namco, are you taking notes?… Full Review »
