Downloaded the Mr Driller demo, played through it once, turned it off. I like Mr Driller but I've bought it enough times in the past to pass on it this time.

Ikaruga: Hard.
Coop play = harder than single play. (Due to not being able to control bullets as well as ships colliding)
First coop game with Lave = Unplayable due to lag.
Halo after that game = Laggy. (I suspect my internet connection was a little crap)
Second Coop game with Mr OfDoom = Fun. But I'm not really sure if the 2 player thing adds that much, really.
Dot eater acheivement = easy. Just don't pause.

God I forgot how hard Ikaruga was. I mean I remembered it being hard but not quite that hard.

The thing is I can only keep a chain going for the first wave or two then I have to give up as it gets too mental so I tend to play for score then switch to survival once my chain is totally fucked.

I've owned Ikaruga on the DC and GC, but it didn't click until I played the 360 version last night.

I've always wanted to like it, but now I actually do. Hooray!

My best chain is about 12 or so. I've got some way to go before I'm actually any good, but at least I completed level one last night.

I'm finding Ikaruga to be a bit of a struggle but I will persist. Can't imagine getting any A rankings though.

Mr Driller confuses me. I seem to have more success pressing down and drill constantly than using any kind of tactics. the air limit seems to enforce that style of play as well. a bit like scribbling manically on Meteos I guess (although I never did that cos it's one of the few DS games I like).

Uefa demo was alright but I've literally only played the 'be a pro' mode which is genius! was that in 08 cos I never played that. I recently picked up 07 for 4 quid or something. Achievements = hellish but I've done the worst one now (score an average of four goals per game over fifty matches).

What levels have you been doing? You need to move fast, fast, fast, but you also need to collect all the air capsules, which can be in quite tricky places in some areas.

If you can crash into each other, I'm going to guess 'no'.

Indeed. It's just two, fairly identical, ships. Independent of each other in all ways.

I also kept losing track of which ship I was.
