Early 2009, for PSN and Xbox Live Arcade. Everybody better buy this, so that Sega can get the hint and make an arcade-perfect XBLA/PSN version of Daytona USA.

Leave it to Nissan to take "if you got it, flaunt it" to new extremes.

Am I the only person on Giant Bomb who love Golden Tee Golf? It gets no respect in the major gaming sites, yet it's hugely successful. I know, there's like at least 30 bars in my area that has a Golden Tee machine. Using that trackball to swing that golf club is totally awesome, especially with a few beers in your system.

Hello Bombers, what's up? I've decided to take out this post to list ten games that Namco should put in a future Museum compilation. The latest one, Virtual Arcade for the Xbox 360, is pretty good, but isn't everyone getting tired of seeing the same stuff on there? It's taken a while, but I identified ten games that should be in a future Museum title. Unless identified otherwise, all pictures are sourced from system16.com.

#10 Arrangements.
No, I'm not talking about the arrangements that are present in Virtual Arcade, but instead the ones from the Namco Classics Collection series. Namco Classics Collection is a pair of arcade games released in the mid-'90s that included "arrangements" of Xevious, Galaga, Mappy, Pac-Man, Dig Dug and Rally X. These arrangements added unique gameplay quirks, updated sprite-based graphics, and in some cases, simultaneous multiplayer. The original, non-50th Anniversary Museum release for the Gamecube, Xbox and PS2 has the arrangements of Galaga, Pac-Man and Dig Dug, if you want to try them out.

#9 Cyber Sled
You control this huge tank and you have to defeat this other tank, like Battlezone. The graphics are flat-shaded, like Virtua Racing, and the tanks are controlled with dual-analog joysticks for precision moving and shooting. Multiplayer makes the whole thing worthwhile. I think this game was a PSOne launch title back in 1995, with textures on the graphics.

Since I promised my first REAL blogpost soon, I came up with two ideas. I can't decide between the two, though, so let me throw them out here and see which one is better-received.

Option 1- A Brief History Of The Cruis'n Series.

To me, the Cruis'n series is like a Michael Bay film- critics hate 'em, yet Joe Gamer loves 'em. Here, I run down the history of the series (of course), and throw in an overview of the Fast and the Furious arcade games from Raw Thrills, since they come from many of the same developers behind the Cruis'n series.

Option 2- Top Ten Games I'd Like To See In A Future Namco Museum Title.

Discounting the usual suspects, these are the games Namco should put in a future arcade compilation. And yes, I'll be going into the 1990's with this list.

So, which one do you like? Talk amongst yourselves.

Hi, all. I figured that I should post something here.

My name is Alex, and I'm new here. I used to have a blog on 1up, but since James Mielke is the definition of a premadonna who thinks the whole fucking world revolves around him, I decided to pack up and move here.

Anyways, I love video games, of course. My personal all-time favorite game is Daytona USA 2. As the username suggests, I love racing games. Sega ones, in particular, but any game from any genre from Sega, Namco, Midway, Turn 10, Bizarre Creations, Valve, id, Rockstar and Raw Thrills as well. I admit to being a Raw Thrills fanboy, if only because seeing them be successful in the arcade sector makes me feel good about the state of the gaming industry. And their games are fun, too. Yes, even Target: Terror, that's a great guilty pleasure. In the arcades, the Wii version is crap.

And obviously, as the username suggests, I love cars, too. Fast ones. Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bugattis, Chevys, Mopars, Z cars, Mustangs... if it's fast, I'm all over it like the loud pedal.

I'll start posting new stuff on Monday. See you all then!
