Arkanoid DS features the classic brick-smashing gameplay expanded with three game modes, two or four person multiplayer, and unlockable levels and backgrounds.

Arkanoid DS and both the PSP and DS versions of Space Invaders Extreme will be priced at $19.99 when they hit shelves this coming June.

What makes Space Invaders Extreme DS so special is just how over-the-top it is--and how well it works despite the excessive glitz. Anchoring the game are the original sprite-based enemies, which do their same old dance of death, row by row. Until, of course, they are all vaporized by the solid beam weapon blasting forth from my innocent, pixelated ship. Didn't expect that, did you, sprite-aliens? Welcome to Earf.
