A new Galaga!
isucamper:
If defending the review of the port is the same thing as saying that a review of the port is just as good as a review of the original, then I said it.
But nowhere did I ever say that a review of the port should be representative of a review of the original arcade version of Galaga. Obviously, the arcade is going to play better. You made a jump in logic that I did intend to be implied. It is however, the closest piece of objective data that we have to compare it to, and is not totally useless if applied with the correct footnote. Forgive me for trying to bring a bit of hard objective data into a very subjective conversation.
Braid also looks quite good. Another game in a long list of games I'm getting behind on thanks to this arcade building stuff. Seroiously though, this has been an incredible summer for PSN and XBLA. The arcade is really being reborn as downloadable games on the consoles.
Ummon:
Or you could enter a large number in the timer. That is, if you don't have the 'keep me signed in' box checked.

That line from your first post is why I assumed you were using the review of the port as indicative of reviews for the original since you called it "original Galaga." Then when I pointed out it was only a port on the 360 you started to get defensive about it, which seemed to confirm my assumption. I guess we both misunderstood each other at one point or another.
Anyways, you should download the demo and let us know what you think since I prefer hearing reviews from other classic game enthusiasts on games like these, instead hearing what professional reviewers think of the game. ;D
