Shooters!

It's been a while since I got into a good or modern shooter since I tend to stick to fighting games. Then a strange thing happened, I bought most of my favorite fighters and suddenly shooters started to take hold...

It started with Sidearms, a favorite from high school days and hitting the Broken Cue. Great game and one that I actually finished back in the day on one quarter. I have not yet repeated that feat, but still pretty cool stuff. Other notables are R-Type and In the Hunt, all had a place in my past and all really cool.

I have recently started to play Progear, from 2001 I think as well as DoDonPachi 2. Both are more modern shooters and fall into the bullet he'll style as the screen fills with nice paterns of bullets that you must dodge as you fire back, they are insane.

Progear in particular is quite amazing, beautiful game with accesable yet rewarding gameplay... SO GOOD. The above pic is from that game.

One thing I am trying to do with both games is to avoid pushing continue ever, this way I must learn the game and I'll most likely get my $$'s worth.
