Galaga returns in Galaga Legions! An all-new Xbox Live Arcade game from the same Namco team that revived Pac-Man in Pac-Man: Championship Edition, which was a huge hit and likely brought on this desire to remake another Namco classic! But hey with gameplay like this (see video below), who’s gonna complain? Certainly not me!

The arcade shooter Galaga has captivated players all over the world, and now the legend lives on with Galaga Legions. Featuring table-turning game dynamics, updated graphics and vast waves of ferocious enemies.

The trailer from E3 2008 shows off some insane shooting madness with enemies coming in from all directions (although it’s not like Geometry Wars where you have enemies coming in randomly from the whole playing field, here it looks like the enemies have set pattens) and some very cool graphics and effects that you would expect from a Pac-Man: Championship Edition-like reimagining of the shooter classic.

Check it out yourself in the brief gameplay video below from Microsoft’s E3 2008 Pre-E3 Press Conference.
