This post serves two purposes. One, to offer a crash course on STGs (ShooTing Games) by recommending the brilliant shmup documentary on this site. The 200MB video can be subtitled by using the free VLC player, both available on the same page.

If bullet-dodging is your forte, then skip right ahead to eXceed 2nd Vampire. Fans of Ikaruga will be familiar with the gameplay system. Change polarity using the C key, press the Z key to shoot, absorb bullets to charge your special weapon, etc. The 70MB trial version will take a while to download, but it’s not really a bad deal with four levels to blast through. Have fun.

I don’t think there’s an original or well-executed idea anywhere in this game.

So, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that NO! doesn’t enjoy video games.

Added fun, NO! speaks with vehemence, yet decries violence. Paradoxes, yay.

You SHOULD sign up for STDs instead, muder-loving gunporn shoot mongers. KILL EVERYTHING! sounds like great fun. I hope you burn.

okay system I guess, but the crappy control system (the way it feels) ruined it.
