Honest Gamers writes: "Back in the olden days, one of those Atari 2600 games I played from time to time was Asteroids. I blew up a bunch of rocks until eventually dying and then wrote down my score in a little hi-score booklet just like any healthy, socially-awkward geekazoid would do. Good times.
I can't say that I've thought too much about Asteroids since those pre-teen days. At least not until the past week or so, when I started playing Ion Assault. Developed by Coreplay for that Live Arcade dealie on the XBox 360, this game can best be described as a modern-day Asteroids. You still blow up a bunch of rocks, but there are a decent number of hostile ships-n-stuff, sub-weapons and bosses to deal with, as well."
