Was it because of the creepy robotic band on stage? Heck, no! Was it because of the sub-par pizza? Absolutely not! No, I loved all the arcade games! Did you know that Chuck E. Cheese was started by the same guy who founded Atari, to make arcades more accessible to families? Now UFO is trying to recreate the arcade fun of Chuck E. Cheese with Chuck E. Cheese\u2019s Alien Defense Force, a downloadable DSiWare title for play on the DSi and 3DS.<\/p>\n<p>Aliens have snatched all of Earth\u2019s pizza, so it\u2019s up to Chuck E. Cheese and his friend Mr. Munch to stop them! Armed with their trusty soaker pistols and water balloons, they\u2019ll splash aliens in shooting gallery style challenges. To start, tap on an arcade machine, and more will unlock as you complete objectives. In each game, you\u2019ll have to tap on the screen to hit a certain number of targets in the time limit. When you run out of water, tap repeatedly on the gun or balloon icon on the corner of the screen to refill your supply. Be on the lookout for targets that\u2019ll net you bonus points, and don\u2019t hit the targets with your character\u2019s face on them! The game is rather difficult and there is a slight delay between screen taps and water squirts, so it can get pretty frustrating. Plus the title is a bit too simplistic to feel like a full game.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=8973\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8973\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8973\" alt=\"CHUCK_SCREEN\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/CHUCK_SCREEN.jpg\" width=\"260\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/CHUCK_SCREEN.jpg 260w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/CHUCK_SCREEN-100x150.jpg 100w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/CHUCK_SCREEN-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You squirt water guns at cutout targets, so no violence here.
