  • Abstract:  Breakout was a standalone arcade hit of the 1970s, simply because it was unique and addictive. It took the best elements of Pong and combined them with something new, and many competitors rushed to clone it. A decade later, the first noteworthy Japanes...

  • Abstract:  I’m a huge retro gaming fan, which is why I jumped at the chance to give the latest incarnation of Arkanoid, a classic game originally released back in 1986, a spin. The new Arkanoid for DS features five game modes, including the ability to play agains...

  • Moderately addictive casual gameplay; $20 price point; catchy music.
  • Not a particularly compelling title.
  • A decent casual title, as long as you dont go expecting another Tetris DS. Ideal for puzzle fans.

  • Arkanoid has withstood the test of time, from its first incarnation as Pong, on through its various changes throughout the years. But no matter what skin it wears, or how many bonuses, power ups, and backgrounds it has had, Arkanoid always proves that...

  • Abstract:  Welcome back to 1986, where games were not nearly as entertaining as you remember. I was elated when I received Arkanoid DS for review. I was a huge fan of the original game, Breakout, and then the shameless rip-off, Arkanoid. The concept has been rev...

  • Abstract:  Arkanoid is a game that definitely has visible roots to the original video game, Pong, but is probably more familiar to gamers by another name, that one being Breakout. At least that's the case for me, and again, like Space Invaders, this is a game tha...
