I've played the original R-Type in an arcade on holiday once and at my friends house on MAME. I was the fire button and she was movement.
it IS hard. Although I did do the first level on the trial with out dieing and completly destroying the boss.
No I havent tried any of the PSN ones simply because I just havent looked. Although they probably wouldn't be my style. You see I like the Bullet hell or manic shooter type in which there are thousands of bullets on screen which can me in some cases in beautiful and mesmerising patterns which are shown alot in the touhou series. Coupled by the fact that they have got the keyboard controls spot on, their incredible music and the fact they are free makes it all the better.
And robotron clones I hear you say?!?!
What about Llamatron?
I'm a firm believer in one shot death when it comes to shoot-em-ups. It's harsh and you need much faster reactions and a great ability to really hammer the fire button as fast as you can. Though R-Type added the concept of a power hold to mix things up and add a bit of strategy.

Furie I beat your time on the Red Bull Air Race on Home. 
It took a while to get used to as I couldn't find how to start it as there were so many people around that area. Also I kept flying through gates and getting penaltys and didn't know why at first but then spotted the ghost plane by the gates at the direction you're meant to bank your plane. Then it still kept marking me wrong and then found out it was because my wings kept clipping the gate towers.
So that was a pretty good fail from me but I did it in the end. :lol:
Over the past couple of days I've had a major playing session on CoD:WaW. I've got really far on Veteran now and am on the penultimate level. It's suddenly got 100 times harder and (Pierre will back me up on this) will take me ages to complete. So I'll try and get to a checkpoint a day which is a huge challenge in itself and takes countless dying.
It's just as soon as you run out onto the battlefield, grenades fly from everywhere. You don't have enough time to run away out of range and it's almost impossible to throw them all back before they explode. This is very annoying after you get really far and it sends you miles back to try again (which annoys me about the story).
Oh well, I've almost done it. So as soon as I've got all the trophies I never have to touch the story mode again EVER.

^Stop reminding me that EA killed Bullfrog!
New point and click game by some quiet little devs (who made the charming little flash games for the BBC, and the two splendid Samorost games.
It's called Machinarium. It looks stunning and charming, and it's about robots. What more could you ask for?
Video!
Mmm, point and click games <3

Why will it be?
The first one sucked, so why will the second be any better? Jury's out on it in my mind.
And yeah been playing Bioshock after getting it in the Steam Boxing Day sale for £2 I think it was lolz. Great game with a really good storyline and a great atmosphere and setting in Rapture, a true spiritual sequel to to System Shock 2.

Killzone 2 = yet another run of the mill fps game with is over hyped, looks pretty - but same old same old.
Just like halo 3 before it on a different system..
But then modern gamers seem to love playing essentially the same game over and over.. so I guess i'm in the minority

Smelly have you played the Killzone 2 demo yet? - ok, it is still just an FPS - but its not just "same old same old", the graphics are stunning, not just pretty but the animations are something special. The game "FEELS" alot better than most shooters, your not playing as a floating gun, you can feel the weight behind your movements. And the AI is amazing - played through the demo a couple of times trying different tactics to see if different things would happen and the enemys react completely different, not many other games pull that off right.
Ketchup - Bioshock was indeed an amazing game, loved the moral choices it gave you, and the setting is lovely, although I only rented it and managed to get all I would be able to out of the game in one week. Saying that if I saw it for 2 quid I'd definitely pick it up!!!!
