Batsugun. I have more than doubled my score in about a month. Still low, but I'm very close to breaking ten million. That day will be a happy one.

Keio Flying Squadron & W Ring.

They both have the weirdest BGM as a bonus...

Still grinding away on Esp Ra.De. and getting into Batrider a lot more. I tried to play Battle Bakraid but keep dying like its going out of style.

Battle Squadron, Amiga. Got to the final form of the last boss. A good run should ensure I 1CC this before the week is out.

Game is ruined by the FUCKING RETARDED way you bomb. Also, its difficult to recover after death due to the punyness of any weapon that isnt maxed out. Game engine is solid, this is the closest thing to toaplan style bullet weaving that there ever was on the system - shame they couldnt do something better with it..... drawn out repetative sections make multiple runs a chore..

Xenon II is superior in every respect except frame rate.

Gradius 3 on PSP.

It rocks. The perfectly staged slowdowns are incredibly dramatic.

Mushihime, BAH.

2nd boss stilll doesnt want to die without me winging like 4 bombs at it.

Also Shiki 3..... finally something that DOESNT KILL ME BY SLOWDOWN!!!!!!

Granted, it still hates me, and whoever came up with 3-2 needs to be shot..... but great game. Worth the wait.

Switching between Blazing Lazers, Thunder Cross, Gate of Thunder, Lords of Thunder, and Dangun Feveron.

Out of those, DF is likely the one I'll be playing the most. DURLUDLR the Cat is ridiculous and awesome.

Night Raid

Really close to a 1CC on this one. And I usually suck at Takumi games.
