Almost did Axelay but old console shooters are too boring to review.

Yeah, I was thinking it'd be fun to critique other peoples replays.

Rob, you may hate everything (except possibly Mars Matrix, and even then I suspect you're lying), but I'll be darned if I don't enjoy these videos just the same.

Its good to see a real man's take on these games. Never seen these before and I'm already hooked. Makes me want to put in a big chaw, sit back with my pooch, get my TV all ta-ted, and play me some Gunbird 2.

Do it.

Also, as for boring old shmup, you should review Star Soldier just for kicks.

This is some seriously unfunny uninspired shit. Somebody obviously had too much time on their hands.

As for the rest: make this a sticky. Those reviews are legendary.

My heart skipped.

Ikaruga this week. 6 years in the making. :shock: I should just make this Treasure month and do Gunstar or Alien Soldier next. Feeling Mega Drive. Maybe Undead Line or Elemental Master.

Just to clarify, the review dave_k linked to is the bad one.

I know, but that was the first thing I saw when I opened the thread. That no effort level 1 video has more hits than all of my reviews. Joke's on me. :lol:

No, it's very boring, but still better than the other youtube reviews of Ikaruga that explain the menu.

i'm not expecting it to be as good as GAH-WAANG.... GIGAWAAAAAAANG, but i'm sure it'll be decent 8) in fact i think it'll be the first time i've checked out an ikaruga review for about 5 years. is it 360 version you play?

Yep, I couldn't find Bionic Commando Rearmed 'cause they abbreviated it and I was all like well, what else can I buy? XBLA sucks.

yeah, it's a bit of a burn that they'll pass frogger and dismiss ketsui :lol:

i can't play the 360 version for love nor money. got a 20 mill 1CC on my friend's profile (love those gamerpoints, yo), but i hate it nearly as much as you hate regular ikaruga :lol:
