Couldn't find this through the search, but I recently discovered Harmotion after searching desperately for some kind of vs. shmup for the PC. And amazingly, I found one. This. Lovely neon laser thingies, mad shooty action with nice power-ups, and completely online (as opposed to using USB pads or ...

Sticks and stones, people. Stu's opinions may be a bit troll-like but the people who take the bait are no better. I'm not the biggest fan of controversy for controversy's sake - yes, it can be very "look at me" and can get tiresome if done frequently enough - but I'm equally annoyed by people who ...

Don't make me think about the potential for an IA follow-up again...drool...

<wakes up> Er, yeah *ahem* anyway, it looks bloody gorgeous, and even if it does turn out to be even more Tempest (albeit with Yak's aforementioned gameplay evolutions on page 5) it'll doubtless be ...

I loved it, especially the extra involvement from Alyx. Her inclusion wasn't flawless, but having a companion along for the ride is a welcome change from the large solo stretches of HL2.

I thought everyone knew about this. It's truly fantastic sadomasochistic chaos in a brilliant retro stylee (just a shame my review for DM#4 got cut in favour of StB...)

Panzer Dragoon Orta ... it's nice and easy

In case you didn't know...

The Golden Joystick Awards are officially the world's favourite video games ceremony, originally debuting back in 1982, when Atari, Commodore and Spectrum ruled the earth! Bigger than ever, the Golden Joystick Awards 2006 will feature 17 different award categories, and ...

Donkey Kong Country series. Ports of some of the best 16-bit platforming that isn't Sonic or Mario-based.

I managed to try this back in February - there's a mini-review by me in Disposable Media #4 I think. Absolutely stunning stuff - being a traditionalist I still prefer Cherry Blossom , but the central game mechanic of StB is genius. (Elaborating, you have to hold down a button, whereby you will guide ...

A lot of colleagues of mine agree that the Xbox is now "retro" (which is sad for me because, DS aside, it's the most modern console I have, so I'm somewhat behind the times. :P )

Mind you, everyone has different ideas about this kind of stuff; I recently realised how many people still can't get ...

love you longtime <3

I 100%'d it (3 stars next to savefile) last Friday (having purchased it on the 30th.) It's a lot better than I thought it'd be.

Oh, and 7-3's giant caterpillar: Cutest. Thing. Ever.

Qix!

EDIT: and IA, obv.
