i thought it was actually ok ...yeah was a bit to close to shikigami but had a bit of trizeal in it

[SuperBeatBoy]

In a word, no (there's a review going up soon on Console Arcade). You'd be better off putting your money towards one of the decent shooters on the service.

Cool, will check it out as soon as its up Spatial. Thanks for letting me know.

Last time I checked Ikaruga was the only decent shmup on live (the Space Invaders games are ok too but they work better on the handhelds for me).

I think KOF SS is probabaly the second best one on the service actualy, not that that is saying much.

Semi-store related. Anyone have trouble with Zune Marketplace? It's been days and it won't access the content at all.

R-Type Dimensions says 'Hi'.

Re: KOF-SS, I heard pretty bad first impressions when it hit arcades in Japan stating that it was 'plain' above all else. However EOJ over at Cave-STG (whose opinion I hold in quite high regard when it comes to shmups) said he thinks it's Moss' best game. Supposedly it gets much tougher after the first stage, and despite the poor presentation it plays pretty well.

I forgot about that, proibabaly becuase I have played r-type 500000 times on about 20 different systems (theres even an arcade perfect iPhone version now) so despite the polish the XBL release isnt that note worthy.

Vertical shooters are my preference anyway, and KOF:SS is quite alot of fun.

Hmm Triggerheart Exelica and Omega Five?

[Skull Commander]

I enjoy 1942 Joint Strike as well as the above mentioned games.

[toythatkills]

I'm pretty excited about Super Meat Boy anyway, but this sounds awesome.

[toythatkills]

A bit more about it. Basically, buy Super Meat Boy, get constant free DLC!

[Family Fry]

Simply beautiful
An interesting read too.

[Spatial]

Might make up for the supposedly crushing difficulty (going by what I've read on various sites)

[toythatkills]

Got some links to that? I'd love to read about crushing difficulty!

I should play some N+ to get properly in the spirit for this

I watched a youtube video, it was 9mins long and the guy couldn't do the 1 level, constant trial and error, little mistakes you could see he was gettin P'd off.
I can't wait for this!
