Space age sneakers and retro gaming

While 2011 is The Year of Mobile (yes, really this time) it is also, as far as Cream is concerned, The Year of Gaming. You heard it here first.

Branded games have been about for years, but recently there have been some excellent examples of the genre. Thanks to the social network revolution that you might have heard about, online gaming is no longer the preserve of teenage boys and the IT crowd.

So in this self-proclaimed "Year of Gaming", the first branded game to grab our attention was this brilliant retro arcade style space shoot'em up from Foot Locker. Obviously, we were rubbish at this - but I'm sure many lunch hours spent practising will lead to an improvement...
