    nabbed galaga remix. the slider controls didnt fare too well for me playing the original game so i switched to touch control for the remix and played much better. its not perfect but galaga, or indeed shoot-em-up fans cant grumble too much at 99c.

    no global scores sadly. why indi devs can always pull off globals and not the big players is a mystery to me!

    Pac-man remix is a really good game. A little bit short, but good replayability and decent graphics. Also, there are some cool new features like elevators, portals, and speed boosts. For $.99, it's hard to pass up.

    For me, namco is the epic fail of the big publishers. The only game i brought from them was pacman and i almost wanted to throw my iphone into the trashcan because by running pacman, it became thrash. :mad:

    Mr Driller is good fun and highly replayable, but for whatever reason they made the game to run in landscape mode, even though it is fully a vertical game. That and the not quite ideal controls would be the only downsides though.

    Katamari is good fun too, and good for a laugh. But I've barely bothered to play it since completing the story mode on its five levels.

    It is nice to see them having a sale, but I wish they'd do it fully Gameloft-style :). Nice prices on the remix games though, but I guess I need to look for more info about those.

    Thanks for your comment, I just played the lite version of I love katamari and didn't like it.
    Overall I don't see "a Must buy".
    I'll try the lite versions of the remix games.

    I recommend both of these titles, esp. at the sale prices. Big Albie did a comprehensive (as always ;) ) review of Mr. Driller.

    I'm still contemplating Pac-Man Remix, any suggestions?

    Anybody know the difference between Pacman and Ms. Pacman? One has a bow and one doesn't? Is it that Ms. Pacman has more than one backscreen?

    This isn't probably set in stone seeing as how I saw it on "Pawn Stars", but in one episode they're buying an old arcade console in which the Pac-Man game had been replaced with Ms. Pac-Man because those levels were randomly generated.
