Managed to 1CC Strania a few days ago. I think Hard mode is intended as the main one, though, 'cos there's a seventh level and boss on the harder settings. Trying to reach 'em the noo. :)

Good lord man, you must have been putting some effort into it. I got distracted by Infinity Danger (I won’t mention where the recommendation came from!) which I felt was easier to pick up and play and a little more compulsive. Plus I’m 202 in the world now! I’ll be going back to Strania soon.

Hehe, the Normal mode isn't too tough, mate; I only played it seriously for a few hours spread over a week. The really daunting parts are the 4th and 6th boss battles, but even they're pretty simple once you've seen them a few times. Hard mode is a lot more like serious business, with most of the 'popcorn' enemies actually firing at you, and the larger enemies being more aggressive, etc.

I'm pretty terrible at Infinity Danger, even now that it's been patched to be a lot more playable and forgiving. I think my highest score is about 5 million. Great game, though!

Is it just me or does it appear with Infinity Danger that you start off with a random base ship with one main weapon, say, "missiles" and then it each subsequent levels builds up and up and up until it's a massive missile wielding monster. But you could easily start off with say "lasers" which would then be the predominant weapon on all subsequent levels.

I might be wrong but that's the way it felt every time I've played it.

I was struggling to get to level 9 when I was constantly harranged by lasers for level after level. But I had a cracking turn when the boss seemed to favour slow green blob cannons which I got quite adept weaving in and out of.

My top tip for a decent score: Whenever you get the chance, leave the armaments and get stuck into the core.

The sections of the bosses that are augmented depends on which parts you tend to focus on destroying. It was the same in Warning Forever - whichever parts of the boss you seem to be prioritising will be beefed up on the next one. You can mix up your strategies so that each part is levelled up about equally, but eventually every section/weapon type goes apeshit.

If you tend to attack the front parts as soon as the ship enters the screen (as is only natural), you'll end up with massive front 'legs' that crush you before you can do anything.

I've got a bit better at Strania. I was getting too excited about picking up all the weapons rather than focusing on the best tool for the job at hand.

The 4th boss just pointed at me and went "HA HA DIE". Which I did.

Got Death Smiles through from LoveFilm yesterday.

It's fucking glorious. :metul:

What isn't glorious is having your pad batteries die on you after you've finished 5 stages without losing a life... :facepalm:

Was taken aback by the low res look of the arcade version, but my eyes jumped for joy and clicked their heels when I played the 360 version. Beautiful sprites and backgrounds.

Rosa seems to be the best character so far, thinner stream but much more powerful. Plus what you miss, her familiar usually kills anyway.

The extra character, Sakura, seemed ace at first. Her familiars acted like one of the force options in R-Type final (firing in the direction you have moved from). Shame her shots are piss weak.

...hmmm she's a bit shit on the last two levels though.

New fave is Follett, her dragon familiar can be 'placed' to act a bit like a shield.

Loving this game so far. Those last two levels are harsh though compared to the earlier ones.

I got Deathsmiles on the 360 for £1.99 the other day. Was either a mis price or a clearance but it sold out straight away.

Definitely a pricing cock-up, that; it's only been out for a couple of months. It's cool that you got it for so little, but it makes me want to cry that (apparently) the whole lot sold for the same price. :(

Still, I suppose they'd have only sold about four copies at the standard (though already budget) price anyway. I really hope this is doing better elsewhere...

I picked up Deathsmiles today for £12.98 from Game. Not allowed it until my birthday however which coincides with Bangai-0 being released on XBLA the next day.

Sleep and marriage are over rated.

Managed to genuinely forget I had bought Deathsmiles and the wife was looking at me like some kind of moron as I unwrapped it this morning saying 'I don't know what this is'

Goldfish boy strikes.

Anyway I've had a few goes and it's bloody lovely. I really like it so far and can see Strania not getting a look in now.

I need to learn how to recharge the jewel counter thingy on that. There's some trick you can do just as it drops to zero that makes it shoot right back up to 1000, which can lead to some seriously massive scores.

Anyone want to tell me whats going on in Deathsmiles? What modes are people playing?

Also bought Bangai-O. Why the fucking fuck do you only get the tutorial once you've bought it?

You should also be able to select "Fury Mode", which is the main game.

Deathsmiles 2X has turned up on the American 'games on demand' thing.

2400M$P.

I don't know if it's possible to grab it via a yank Xbox account or not though and there's no talk of a PAL version yet.

Pisser. Looks like an easy max.

Rising Star Games have just announced at the MCM Expo that they're bringing Akai Katana Shin to the PAL territories! (And as it's RSG, there's a good chance it'll work with US machines, too.)

DDP Resurrection is out on Friday, too. :DD

Decent price drop, but I've recently bought Deathsmiles Sp Ed for £9.99 so I'm not wanting another shooter just yet.

That's the one where the new modes (that aren't on the iPhone) cost extra right out the gate right?

Arrange modes A and B are both on the disc. Black Label is an 800-point download, but that was always DLC. It's a completely different game, like. They all are. :)

Guwange and Silvergun are both half price this week (400 and 600MSP). They're both excellent and rather lavish ports, with more display options than you could possibly need. :)

What's the deal with the stars that the enemies drop? Do you just have to dodge them (THERE'S BAZILLIONS!) or absorb them somehow? Feel like I'm missing something with that mode.

Aye, I ordered it with ShopTo fucking years ago and the release date has always been "TBC". Tradewest were supposed to be releasing it originally, but they're up shit creek. Hope this DTP bunch don't suddenly go bankrupt!

Thought about getting SSX today, but decided against it at £40. Gonna wait for a drop in price. Instead I picked up DoDonPachi Deluxe Edition and Deathsmiles Deluxe Edition for a bloody tenner each! You get soundtrack CDs in both! Result!

Thought about getting SSX today, but decided against it at £40. Gonna wait for a drop in price. Instead I picked up DoDonPachi Deluxe Edition and Deathsmiles Deluxe Edition for a bloody tenner each! You get soundtrack CDs in both! Result!

Where from?

Sorry! DDP was a tenner (brand new) in GAME. Gamestation had DS (also new).

DDP regularly bounces around the 10 / 12 mark its currently 12 at both play and amazon (£10 at game / gamestation but out of stock)

I also grabbed Dynasty Warriors 6 for a tenner because I Music Magpied it and regretted my decision... But that's not a shmup!

It's nice getting three games for less than you'd normally pay for one.

Notice how all three begin with 'D' because I was looking for Dynasty Warriors 7, truth be told. Couldn't resist the shmups seeing as they've been in my Amazon basket for ages.

The 360 has an incredible back catalogue. If GAME does go tits up, I'm getting down there to pick the meat off the bones of their second hand stock.
