I enjoyed it, may hold off on the purchase for a bit considering the now sizeable backlog of XBLA stuff + Castle Crashers coming out next week.

This game makes me think I am nowhere near ADHD enough to play it though.

So if I slapped you repeatedly and you didn't notice it, would that make it OK ? :wink:

Pacman CE is the perfect example of modernising an old classic, and should be the benchmark for future endeavours. Take note devs!
Finally tried the demo and the above quote sums up my feelings.

Yeah. The whole satellite thing felt awkwardly halfway between R-Type and something with directional fire like Geo Wars. I can't think of a better way of controlling two separate turrents than the way they did, but I don't think it works too well.

Deluxe Galaga on the Amiga remains the ultimate version. There's a remake for OSX/Windows called Warblade, I just tried the demo and it appears to be every bit as addictive as the Amiga version.
