Hello! I’m the high score whore that Mr. Podunkian had been warning you about. Now Pug Fugly (real name Chris Roper, but don’t tell anyone) has a new game out, titled The Hordes. If you’re as old as he is, then you’d probably remember credit-guzzling games like Galaxians and Space Invaders. You’d also recognize that the same ship from Namco’s arcade shooter makes an appearance here, but with a new lick of paint and maneuverability that wasn’t found in the original.

Here’s how the game works: you shoot aliens for points, and blow up larger aliens for power-ups. Grab the collectibles to upgrade your weapon and increase the difficulty level of the next enemy wave. Repeat this for massive points. But, hey! Don’t let upgrades go uncollected, or your weapon will “power-down” automatically. If you last three minutes out there in space then you might make it into the top ten. If not, stick to WoW instead.
