[RoninYorch]

They could talk at least a little about Axelay and Einhänder...

[Bananadine]

that Radiant Silvergun sounds really cool but its sloppy-looking 3D graphics don't sell it well in these clips

3D graphics sure do mess up a lot of games that don't need them

@andy7666 - cool, glad you found stuff you liked.

[andy7666]

@DracOverLordHaton Hey, thanks for getting back to me dude - I'll check these out for sure! ^_^ I got into Dezaemon a bit in the end, some cool little games, also have looked through a few of the 360 inides - some are ok, ALOT of potential there! The PC indie/"doujin" scene is amazing, its good to have both demos and full games available - if I had the dough I would invest in hard copies of these games ($20 odd I think - you get the cool art, case etc.) - alot of the titles are just amazing..
