It's a mighty fine game and worth a look. I'm not kiding either I think it's a great game despite obviously targetted towards children.

You've got a great blog there, I've enjoyed reading some of the latest articles. I think that varying up your tastes for all media is very important because it can allow you to discover great content which you normally might have overlooked. Although I am new to shmps I think that Ikaruga is a great place to start. If you want to broaden your tastes then do what I did and write a list of games, genres, developers that you have heard about and are interested in fidning out more about them. For me my list went something like this: 2D Fighting Games Shoot 'em Ups Nippon Ich Treasure SNK Casual Games Indie Games And then some particular standout titles. Hey Korey, thanks for dropping by.

I'd like to do more of that myself. I think it's very easy to just buy and play the types of games you're most comfortable and familiar with. Myself, I rarely venture into faster paced genres like shoot-em-ups, FPSs, or really intense 3rd person action games (like Ninja Gaiden). I think it's important to be able to play and appreciate other game genres, even if they're not your cup of tea. I've read about Ikaruga quite a bit, but have never played it. After reading your post, I wouldn't mind checking it out sometime. I really like that you’re trying to branch out into niche games. I’d like to do more of that myself.
