Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 - Honestly beggining to think 1ccing ultra mode is not gonna happen. Can easily do maniac but ultra is about 20 steps up. Hell i can only just beat the first level without dieing, and thats using all my bombs.

Apparantly there's a God mode difficulty aswell on the DLC. WHO WOULD FIND ULTRA TO EASY!!!

Ikaruga is a strange one for me. I love it but only as a survival game. The chaining system really gets me mad as sometimes im forced not to shoot for a great long period of time just to keep my chain going. Which is not why i play a shoot them up game, its why i play puzzle games :p

I was playing Raiden Fighters at my local airport today. Got past the first stage in one life, then blew all the rest of my lives in the second.

Oh well.

That is always what happens to me in that game! I still love it though. So many cool power-ups!

New to the Shmup genre, (which means I have committed a forum-wide sin for waiting this long to pick one up) and have been playing the hell out of Sin and Punishment: Star Successor. My god, if all Shmups are like this...what have I been missing out on all these years?

It's...not?
Proves how much I know of the genre. -__-
So...off to go find a copy of Ikaruga then. :D
