This retro style shooter is a spectacular love letter, written to its cinematic muse, with a katana blade and a hand grenade.

    I played this about a year ago. Really good game. It would have been right at home in the arcades in the early-mid 90s or maybe a late Sega Genesis title. The movie inspirations were wonderful and it mostly hit a good balance in difficulty. Although some of the later levels got a little frustrating and tedious. Overall, though, if you want to know what it was like playing great games in the golden age, try this one out. They really did manage to recapture a lot of the magic from back then, or so says this gray bearded gamer.

    Is this genuinely the best mic Don could use for this? Surely there is one he could use from the studio, he doesn't have to come into contact with anyone else picking up a mic.
