So you never play a lesser game in a genre that you enjoy. NEVER?Quote:

The other scenario is where the pinnacle of the genre is so old that I'll take what I can get. 2D fighters come to mind here. Mech's Metroid argument works here too.
Fair enough. BOT, Scurge has enough charms and gameplay to stand on its own, but the closest game I can think of is Metroid. I should not have said it is Metroid-lite, it is long enough and different enough to stand on its own. It is not the greatest game ever but it works for what it is and for $10, it is more than worth it.
