Well here's the scoop. I loved an earlier remake of asteroids in the arcade back in the day, and so I figured I'd give this one a try. Its more or less the game of old with new graphics and ship variety. Some of my friends who hadn't played the game ever...

Pros: You can buy it on ebay for 9 bucks!!!
Cons: Get rid of the 2d environment

Pros: Simple gamplay
Cons: to easy

So let me guess, you've seen the commercials and really wanted to buy this game. Well, at least that's what happened to me, and I I'm really regreting it! It is really fun once you get it, but then after about a week it starts to get old! Activision did...

Pros: great graphics, very challenging
Cons: stressful, takes a little while to play

Being twenty-five, I vividly remember Atari. I even had a real size asteroids games. The table top kind that you would usually find in Pizza Hut. Anyhow, I could beat every boy in the neighborhood. They would come over thinking that I was just a girl and...

Pros: ok
Cons: leave it somewhere

What were they thinking!
Atari is like the "ancient ancsestor" of video games! It's plain graphics and simple games once did rule this electronical world. But not anymore! With the extension of playstation and n64 it surely makes atari...

Pros: A little addictive
Cons: everything

I went out and bought this game because a magazine and a friend told me it was good. So I put it in and turned my playstation on only to find a big pile of poo.
This game is so poor, I mean why sit around all day and shoot asteroids when you can...

Pros: Awesome grahic and a little replay
Cons: Hyperspace makes me cringe

Being a fan of videogames from the 80's, asteriods was always the choice for me. Let's face it. The sounds was almost like being in a jaws movie.
You know da-da...da-da...and the explosion sounded great. And the flying saucer added that extra...

Pros: Better Graphics
Cons: Certain things were changed

I really love this game. I classic Atari games was fun as hell, but this is so much better. Come on, if any of you have played a game on Atari you know that the graphics on those games compared to the games of today are terrible. I think the game is...

Pros: graphics, new options
Cons: difficulty level

Yes, this is one of those games that brings back fond memories. Days spent sitting in my childhood bestfriend's room playing video games and drinking Coke. They even remembered to bring in the UFO's from the old game. My two year old nephew LOVES to...

Pros: same as always
Cons: none

This was the most addictive game of the 80's, and guess what, IT STILL IS. Nothin much has changed but it is still a great freakin game none the less. It has a ton more levels and is waaaaaaaayyyyy more difficult than the old Atari version. It has...

Pros: good graphics
Cons: nothing new about the game play

Well excited about my new playstation I went a little crazy on purchasing games for it. Asteroids was a game I was already familar with so I decided to give it a try. Well the game was alright. The graphics were way better than the original games but...

Pros: Everything
Cons: nothing

You are in a spaceship. You have a gun, and some thrusters. There are rocks. Shoot them into little pieces without crashing into them. But watch out for that inertia! Clear the screen and do it all again. And again. And again. That'll be Asteroids then....

Pros: not real involved, good graphics
Cons: not big on action

During the Christmas rush things get a little crazy. I end up wearing sox that don't match, i button my shirt wrong, heck, i even wear my shoes on the wrong feet. Most of the time, these blunders don't get me anywhere, but this Christmas, things took a...
