360 Shmup Scans

This weeks Famitsu scans are out and the ones that caught my attention most were those for Ketsui and Mamonoro on the 360.
Ketsui is due out on the 28th May and Mamonoro at some point in June.

I've played the DS port of Ketsui but not the main game so am really anticipating it as a huge Cave fan. This is the first I've seen or heard of Mamonoro, the game seems to be a free roaming shooter though and looks very nice. Two more expensive summer imports!

Blog Rebirth!

It's been a while, but decided to start posting again. Hopefully it be at least semi-regular this time!

To start, a few of my recent purchases and this is most of my February stuff:

It's been all about Killzone 2 MP since I finished the single player. Took a little while to get into it after CoD 4/WaW but I've settled in and am enjoying it a lot.
I was playing DoDonPachi on 360 a hell of a lot until my 360 decided to red ring again, just 2 days after being repaired. So I've had it (my second Xbox) for about a year and a half, it's been repaired 4 times and is still dead :( At this point, even though I can't really afford to, I'm more or less set on buying a cheap PAL arcade console and buying the exclusives I want (Race Pro, Ninja Blade, Star Ocean) on PAL and buying another Japanese console later down the line as I can't do without the Japanese exclusives!

Anyway, Street Fighter IV is still keeping me busy although I have yet to jump online. Partly through fear of getting completely torn apart and partly because I don't want to face all these Ken's I keep hearing about!
iMAS SP is also getting quite a bit of playtime too, enjoying it a lot and it seems like a better fit on PSP than on 360.

More July Stuff

Few more bits

Mid-July Stuff

Few new things from the past week or so:

Trauma Center 2 is great, definitely suits the DS better than the Wii. Kane & Lynch is pretty enjoyable, despite the negative reception it received on release. At £12 new I couldn't pass it up again.

And some PSN/XBLA stuff:

Admittedly bought for being the first game to support Trophies, but is a great game nonetheless.

Ehrgeiz
