Sega should make a sequel to that game!

Anybody who has never played that game, play it, you will not be disappointed!

So will the game allow another controller to vibrate rhythmically for a spectator?

In other news of a similar nature:

If you go to the NCS website, IKARUGA will also be made available as well!

Ikaruga is old news, was there anything else cool announced today besides Rez?

Looking forward to finally seeing what that game is all about.

Ninja Gaiden 2 was formally announced, today.

Warashi's shoot them up, Trigger Heart Exelica was also announced as well as Q?'s Every Extended Extra

both are fine games. EEE is addictive and THE is a fair shoot them up.

And now my wallet tilts in the direction of MS. Oi, this is going to be a hard decision come Christmas.

Would a Wii Rez release be out of the question...?

Eh, probably.

It's getting to be a hard decision between a 360 and a Wii. If only the 360s didn't have the added M$ special feature of breaking repeatedly and randomly.

Anyways, a HD version of Jet Set Radio would be incredible. And whilst we're at it, how about Capcom give us Final Fight HD Remix?

They also announced Exit for XBLA. I'm not sure why they felt the need to announce Every Extend Extra Extreme... I thought that one was already common knowledge.

Trigger Heart Exelica is actually a pretty fun game. I have the Dreamcast version, and while it didn't get the best of reviews, the gimmick of being able to grab enemies and throw them at other enemies was something I had a lot of fun with.

Oh, and Rez is all kinds of awesome. I absolutely loved the Dreamcast version. I'll definitely be buying that one the day it's released. I hope the XBLA size limits doesn't negatively affect the musical quality...

awesome awesome awesome.

Now I need to sell my GC copy before it's worth nothing. I can't even believe how incredible those screenshots are. Do we really have to wait until early '08?

Also, has anyone considered with all the recent live arcade announcements + what you already have on your xb just might make the premium 20gig hd start to seem tiny?

I've yet to upgrade to the elite, but am now having second thoughts.

Why would your GC copy be worth nothing? I guarantee collectors like me will gladly buy it, because again, most of us like physical copies of our games!

Don't buy into the non sense that because soemthing is on a downloadable service, the original is worth nothing!

Can XBL Arcade get any f'ing better? Christ on a crutch. They keep dropping these A-bombs on us every 2 months or so. I want some time to play the goddamn disc-based games I have waiting here.

Space Giraffe is nothing to write home about! It plays nothing like "Tempest", or any cool variation there of.

Being a true gamer and shooter fan, I wouldn't even recommend it!

You sir are a madman.

Space Giraffe is one of the finest games on the downloadable service. Of course it doesn't play like Tempest. IT ISN'T TEMPEST. It's the same genre of game, but that's it.

Today I finally "got it" at the game and ended up playing for about an hour straight before finally hitting the game over. Got a real nice score, too :D

But yeah, Rez HD sounds nice. I can't wait to see that on my friend's projector!

I was, like most shooter fans will, comparing it to Tempest.

I didn't think it stood that well on its own either.

And yes, I am a shooter fan.

I love everything from Space Invaders to Blazing Lazers to Last Resort to Rez and 90% of the games in between...

maybe that other 10% is the probelm???

Well some shooter fans are not even consider Space Giraffe a "shooter" Some classify it as a tube shooter.

And Rez is also not consider a "true" shooter as it is on "rails"

In the end video game players who enjoy shoot them up have found enjoyment with Space Giraffe for the type of game that it is.

I'm sure you are a shoot them up fan�

Rez is the same style as Panzer Dragoon. If PD is a shooter, so is Rez, if not, neither is Rez.

I dont say they are NOT shoot them up, I just say they are not TRUE shoot them up -- more like shooter on RAILS

Examples:
Rez
Panzer Dragoon
Star Fox
Afterburner

The thing be is that the definition is so skewed that it is not very clear what is consider a shoot them up. There are people who consider Contra and Metal Slug shoot them up and other are call those titles "run and gun".

What is fact about Rez and Panzer Dragoon is that they are play on "rails".

What is opinion is that I think that Rez and Panzer Dragoon are great games.

This is getting completely off topic, but I consider anything from Afterburner to Blazing Lasers to Rez to Panzer Dragoon to Tempest to Space Invaders a shooter!

Does that answer your initial question or comment?

I do NOT consider Metal Slug or Contra a shooter, but I am sure, some gamers would!
