Star Paws

Not a lot of people know this, but out in the darkest reaches of space, there's a purple planet and on that planet there's... wait for it, wait for it... an illegal colony of legendary Tasty Space Griffins. Ooh! Only one dog (dog?) can catch them - and his name is Captain Rover Pawstrong (swoon!).

Making use of a variety of objects and his bare paws, Rover can catch the leggy birdies in a variety of ways (jumping on them, blasting 'em with a thermo-nuclear device, catapulting 'em) and there's even a bonus puzzle to win him extra points.

With its excellent playability, outstanding parallax scrolling and cutesy graphics Star Paws has to be one of the most enjoyable re-releases on the market right now. Eat worms rather than miss it.
