  • Abstract:  As one of the most mediocre revisions made for this series, Arkanoid DS isnt worth the $20 price tag.

  • Abstract:  Taitos Arkanoid isnt much more than a blatant rip-off of the classic Atari Breakout. But back in the day it was a good blatant rip-off of the classic Atari Breakout. But oh how the mighty has fallen: the newest addition to the series is Arkanoid DS, ...

  • Abstract:  Arkanoid probably isn't your most fondly remembered Taito game -- chances are, Bubble Bobble takes that honor -- but I dug it, and I still enjoy playing it. So it's cool to see Taito revisit the franchise on the DS, especially since past sequels and re...

  • Abstract:  Först kom Breakout. Eller först kom visserligen Pong. Eller okej, först kom väl egentligen Tennis for Two från 1958 men Arkanoid innehar ändå en viss status, och inte bara som plagiat. Faktum är att Arkanoid kanske...
