What are your favorite shoot 'em up games? Or do you even like this genre at all?

I've been really in the mood for these games lately for some reason despite not having much experience with them. The only ones I've really played are Gradius for the NES and Aero Blasters for the Turbo Grafx-16 (which was one of my favorite games as a kid).

Edit: As a side note, I wrote the title to this thread as "Shlup" about several times before I wrote the write word.

Ikaruga. And now it's on Steam! Go play it >:o

I love old school shoot-em-ups. My favourites are probably Axelay, R-Type, 1942 and Starfox 64.

Axelay blew me away the most when I was a kid though. It looked freakin' awesome back in 1992.

Favorite all time might be Galaga since my Dad got me into it.

But right now it's all about the reigning king: Resogun!

Ikaruga is on Steam! smurf yeah!

Galaga

Majestic Twelve, which is apparently also known as Space Invaders Part 4.

Not a huge fan of the genre. Rez is the awesome exception.

Welcome to the world of bullet hell.



I haven't played much of this genre, but I plan to review Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil in May. May God have mercy on my soul.

I want Resogun so bad. As in, there's always a part of me saying "Hey Scott, go buy a PS4 right this minute so you can download and play this game."

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's still free on PS4, along with a lot of other titles. $400 might be a lot for one game but there is a ton of free stuff to do on the system, like the FFXIV beta :D

I'm still resisting buying the PS4 thankfully :D. I did already have Resogun tied to my account with PS+ though, so it will be one of the first things I download whenever I do eventually get the PS4.

Nice!

Speaking of PS+ and shmups, another Housemarque masterpiece will be free next month: the PS4 version of Dead Nation!

>>> Sonic wings..:luca:

Touhou. Do you even loli shooter?

I like this genre, but I hate the genre name. I also suck at them.

For the rest of my reply I will only go as long as the average time I la
