Console:
Gates and Lords of Thunder, for different reasons each
Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga
Blazing Lazers/Space Megaforce
Thunderforce series, but particular focus on 4 and 5
Souky
Battle Garegga
Galactic Attack (Layer Section)
Alright- I've had my eye on Battle Garegga for some time now. Is it worth the price of admission? I can't find it for less than 70 bucks.
Which, when you think about it, isn't terrible. At least it's retained its value. The alternative is putting 60bucks on an X360 game and slowly watching it go down to $20.
