Maybe that's what Namco were thinking when they made the game; they wanted to frustrate people like Geometry Wars has. The trouble is that it doesn't feel at all like a Galaga game, it seems to have strayed too far from its roots to be considered a sequel. It can be good at times but there's just too much strong competition from Geometry Wars 2 for it to be considered a must-have blaster.

Major Nelson has revealed three new Xbox One Backward Compatibility titles. The Orange Box, a collection of five classic titles. Galaga Legions, a single player action packed take on the original Galaga and Joe Danger 2: The Movie, a thrilling platformer that can be played in 4 player multiplayer.
The waning days of summer are upon us, and for the first time in six years Microsoft hasn't kept the release schedule moving with its annual Summer of Arcade promotion. Part of that is no doubt due to the promotion's title. It's named after a delineation between downloadable "Arcade" games and larger retail games that Microsoft readily acknowledges isn't as relevant in the modern market. However, this summer passed us by without any similar promotion, even as Sony continued its PLAY program. Why? We can glean part of the answer by looking back at how the promotion developed over the years.
