| - I'm an arcade connoisseur, but unfortunately I don't often get to go to a good arcade. Most of the arcades I see are filled with redemption games, skeeball, and a couple of beat up Cruisn' cabinets. So I was really excited to find Gameworks. This arcade is HUGE, and has an awesome selection of games.
One of the things I liked was the layout. The games were grouped by type: shooters, fighters, racers, simulators, and pinball. Highlights include:
- separate room with every House of the Dead game, complete with blood-splattered walls and zombies
- brand new Pump It Up NX machine
- section of old school cabinets (Moon Patrol, baby!)
- Mario Kart Arcade
- Air Trix (I miss this game)
- MvC2
- Tekken 5 (with card dispenser, if you dig that sort of thing)
- Star Wars arcade game
- House of the Dead 4 Special (a sight to behold)
The only place where they lose points is the card system. While I've started to warm up a bit to card systems because they simplify things, the prices here are pretty exorbitant. $35 for a day pass? Damn. You best believe I played the crap out of everything for that price.
