It seems like the PS3 might actually be getting some shmups in the future then, I found it funny when the interviewer for Famitsu 360 quickly tried to divert the conversation away from that subject.

I think I will do several games and just narrow it down to 2010.

I've got a cheap little 13'' tv that I can do that with. But I wouldn't dare try that with my 30'' CRT in the living room. That sucker weighs about 200 lbs!

I'm sure it would be good excercise.

the game you are thinking of is The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces.
It's a good game an can be had for a very cheap price, win win.
