The first time I heard about Astro Boy, I uttered to myself - Astro what? With all due respect, the character was launched way before I was born. But when I was able to see some old film of this little robot, I find Astro cool.

Astro Boy, originally named Tetsuwan Atom, is a television character created in 1951 by Japanese cartoonist and animator Osamu Tezuka. Children from around the world feel in love with this robot instantly. There's also a new 3D Astro Boy film that was launched recently and will also be shown in Hollywood soon. So if there's a movie, the video game will just be around the corner.

Astro Boy : The Video Game allow players to become the iconic hero, Astro Boy, and take to the streets and skies on an epic adventure to save Metro City from the clutches of the evil President Stone and his robot army.
