First Thoughts: Arcade Reality "WHOA" was the first word I said when I began playing Arcade Reality. Well, rightly so, because no other game in my Treo has captured my attention this intense.

Basically, Arcade Reality is a shooter: I have a weapon, I aim, and I shoot at the flying targets. However, the game adds one important and vital factor that makes it stand above and beyond the rest: Treo camera support.

Not only can I see my targets apparently rendered around me, I can also move around to search for and shoot the targets. A simple Elite-like-radar and info bar helps track down enemies and helps manage my weapons. But then, I was shot at too and here, Arcade Reality effectively renders damage and static onscreen which only adds to the excitement! As a result, during my last game, I was quickly moving around our living room trying to track down pesky alien moths on our TV and under the couch. (My wife of course, took a glance at me but didn't mind me at all... you see, she's already used to seeing me with the Wii... but that's another story...)"

This sounds like a very cool and unique way of playing a game on a Treo. I'm downloading Arcade Reality while typing this. To read Joel's full review click here .
