GBA Astro Boy: Omega Factor

Though Astro Boy may be an unknown entity to gamers in the US, what's not a mystery is the game design created for the character, at least for the Game Boy Advance. It's easy to see the old-school gaming influence in Astro Boy: Omega Factor, as it's been created by a team that's been around since the days of Contra and Castlevania. Japanese development studio Treasure has taken what it has learned in the past couple of decades creating NES, Super NES, and Genesis games and applying it into a Game Boy Advance game that, even with its old-school inspired gameplay mechanics, feels entirely fresh and new. It's a wonderful, challenging throwback on the handheld that shouldn't be missed...even with that cutsey, grinning mug on the box cover.
