"Arcades were a staple of early video games and the main place where kids would go to play games in the 1980’s. Sure there were home consoles, like the Atari 2600, the ColecoVision and others but until the mid-1990’s arcades were a huge part of gaming culture. Out of these arcades came many classic games and fan favorites including Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Pong. These titles were beloved back then and we still look on them with fond memories. But should they stay just that? Many companies ..."

"I don’t often play Xbox Live Arcade games. You might say that I’m even be avoiding them, especially with some experiences I’ve had in the past that I won’t mention here.
But when I saw the opportunity to play a TMNT game, particularly one that is in fact a ‘re-shelling’, if you will, of a classic Konami game, I could not deny my little Xbox from downloading the 286 megabytes of fun (my Xbox has a mind of its own sometimes, you see). Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time – Re-Shell..."
"The Xbox LIVE Arcade release is not quite a faithful recreation of the original, instead deciding to update the formula, for better or worse. Some of the major changes come in the form of radical gameplay modernisations such as 360º combat (as opposed to simply offering left or right attacks as with original 2D game) double-jumps, a selection of four difficulty settings and, of course, the option to have four players playing co-operatively online. Other new developments, however, may not be q..."

This topic has been heard plenty of times, which are better achievements or trophies. One can question its launch with the console vs maybe a tack on feature. The real question is who values them more for their respective console? The staff at LVLONE discusses the different features each console presents.
This is one of the few Arcade additions that I am actually excited about. I have fond memories of playing this during the glory days of coinops here in NYC, and lamenting the pixelated home version when it was finally released. The new polygon models, I must admit, look fantastic. Great to see the Turtles returning in true form and given the care/respect they deserve. Kowabunga!
