  • Summary: [Xbox Live Arcade] Launch yourself into the intense space-shooter Aces of the Galaxy, a non-stop, old-school arcade thrill-ride for the twenty-first century and beyond. Utilize an impressive arsenal of upgradeable weapons including high powered missile launchers, devastating torpedoes, and the ever-reliant chain gun to annihilate the ships of the wretched Skurgian Empire. Save planet Earth cooperatively at home with a friend or join up on Xbox Live. Use the temporal shift to slow down the hordes of enemies and prepare yourself for the battle. Classic retro-arcade shooter action mixes with stunning next-generation visuals to bring the action up close and personal. [Sierra Online]… Expand

    Blasting alien scum, avoiding mines and meteors as you put up with the self-absorbed (yet hilarious) villains will bring out anybody's inner Alex Rogan.

    What it sometimes lacks in pacing and excitement it mostly makes up for in character and presentation. If you're at all a fan of the genre, and if you hate the Skurgians as much as we do, give this one a try.

    There's enough frenzied destruction to entertain for an afternoon - just leave your brain at the door. [Aug 2008, p.94]

    Too short-lived to justify even the standard Live Arcade entry fee. [Aug 2008, p.113]
