Buy Everyday Shooter, it's great. Or at least lovely, abstract, musical, and with good shooty action. Whichever.

Everyday Shooter is the best game on PlayStation 3.

I suck at Robotron and every game that controls like it, but I guess I'll pick ES to once again prove that to everyone on my friends list.

Bladestorm and Jerico are silly. very silly.

Just got Everyday Shooter. It's really outstanding. I need to put more time into it to figure out the intricacies, but from the little bit I have played it is well worth the money. The bad part is, it does further prove how awful the analog sticks are.

Actually, this isn't the sticks' fault. The game was designed for 8-way circular shooting, similarly to how Geometry Wars plays. If you turn the sensitivity up in the options it feels better.

Ah, cool, I'll have to try that. I started playing with the face buttons because the game felt that bad using the right analog, so hopefully this will help.

So I played some more, and this game is easily the most original and fun dual analog shooter to come out. The amount of thought that went in to each level is staggering. I have only been able to get through 5 levels, but from what I have seen each level is not only visually completely unique and beautiful, but they also have ridiculously awesome soundtracks and completely different ways you need to go about playing them to not only survive but also chain and earn points. ::end run on sentence::

My favorite level so far is the second, the awesome viral style of the level is fucking great. The little nodes that grow based on how many nodes are connected to them, and chaining based on killing the one with the most connections is pretty damn awesome. I'm sure I don't like some of the other levels yet because I suck at them, namely the third level. Fuck that stupid huge eye.

My complaint still stands that the analog sticks on the dual shock are stick fucking awful. Turning up the shooting sensitivity helps a ton, but it unfortunately doesn't get rid of the slippery and loose feeling that the right stick has when you are trying to be accurate with it.

Longevity wise, it seems like for a downloadable game they packed in a shit load of extras. The game actually gives you incentives to keep on playing and trying to earn as many points as possible through unlockables. It looks like there are a good number of graphical unlockables and sound unlockables that do who knows what. Along with all of the stages available to unlock plus extra lives and stuff like that. Very cool addition that will most definitely keep me playing this for a while.

Anyone who has a PS3 and enjoys shooters NEEDS this game. Plus anyone who owns a PS3 who enjoys awesome unique games NEEDS this game. B-Ri, you're an idiot if you buy Lair and don't buy this game.
