ARGH please don't mention that, the nightmares are coming back! Touchscreen weapon change, with no alternate on shoulder buttons? Apparently it was something insisted on by the publisher, to utilise the DS's newfangled touchscreen thingymabob The man knows his shmups In fact we should start a shmup thread!

The stupid ones that make you do the same thing over & over for hours on end are annoying. But the ones for just playing through the game (Terminator Salvation etc) are even more annoying. I've seen games that give achievements/trophies at the end of watching the intro cutscene, or completing the tutorial. Bleugh.

I'll take it you haven't played Nanostray 2 yet. One of the best shmups ever, both looks and gameplay

Loved it, and shared it on facebook

Supercow on Xbox Indie Games is quite similar to Superfrog!

F-Zero medley:

Annie Lennox: Judy Dench (too old for the MILF category?):

Can relate to that - growing up in white rule South Africa in the 80s, my parents, aunts uncles etc would find it unthinkable to consider an interracial couple (ironically since my family's middle eastern), because all you saw on tv, adverts, billboards etc were white couples. Then in the 90s the country became democratic & suddenly there were lots of mixed couples in public, which was a shock to most people at first. Within a couple of years people got used to it, and nowadays it's unusual to have an ad without mixed races there. So for someone to think same sex couples seem completely wrong, could have a lot to do with the fact that everywhere you look on tv, newspapers, magazines, websites, shop windows, etc it's always straight couples. Problem is, put a same sex couple cuddling on a billboard tomorrow and watch the complaints flood in.

Thanks for the pics! After Nanostray 2 and Jett Rocket, i'm definitely keeping an eye on this.

SNES version of DKC3 comes out: Everyone complains about the change in music style, due to Eveline Fischer's more ambient style. GBA remake of DKC3 comes out: Everyone complains about Dave Wise's remade music killing their memories. Conclusion: DKC3's music is doomed. Agreed - also found Yoshi's Island on SNES pretty hard, and the DS version to be pure evil. A game that takes pleasure on hiding loads of coins between the 2 screens? Somebody please find the developers & whack them over the head with a Sonic Rush design document.

Yea me neither... tho i had massive problems going backward.

I loved Secret Rings. Guess i'm too easily pleased...

That co-op mode looks ace! My excitement level for this game just went up another notch i didn't think was there

Me likey! Can't decide which i like more.

Track 19: Re-Skewed is a remix of the "DK rescued" ending theme, and is made by Dave Wise, Grant Kirkhope and Robin Beanland. Doesn't get any better than that...

Rambiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii !!!!!! Really? I didn't know that I was upset enough that the Kremlings are gone, but c'mon Retro, IT NEEDS ATMOSPHERIC UNDERWATER LEVELS IT'S A DKC GAME!! At least they've not removed the mine carts...

Perhaps they should rename it Sadness Forever?

M = Killer7

Red Steel 2 has such amazing remote aiming, i feel i can shoot anything with pinpoint accuracy.

Ooh, it's gotta be REZUDANT EVEL then?

All together now: "Love really hurts without lube...."

Thanks for posting, Dante! Pity about the squashed aspect ratio, but can't wait for it now

Damn, i still have the 1st & 2nd McRaes & couldn't remember! G = Crash Bandicoot (I think 3?) J = Rez K = Castlevania 64

Could be worse *cough*GBA*cough* - at least the GBC version was an impressive conversion. NOW PLAY THE REST.

Heehee that video hint is great Sounds like something out of an Extreme-G game, but that HUD doesn't match up. AAAAAARGH...
