You see patterns and pattern recognition are some of the basic building blocks of human thought. It is in the design of these patterns where shmps either succeed or fail.

There isnвЂ™t much to say about what is presented in front of you, shmps are usually very bare bones ( Nanostray 2 being a possible exception) and Gradius is the same you have your ship (plus respective power ups) and a series of incoming enemy units each moving in their preset patterns. So now that the obligatory press release is over lets break into why I love shmps and particularly this shmp so much.

You can also choose to play in super duper stretcho PSP vision or at the native proportions. Basically you get the five games, some neat menus and a few extras thrown in for balance. Gradius Collection consists of several classic Gradius titles being Gradius I-IV and Gradius Gaiden, unfortunately Gradius V from the PS2 is not included. IвЂ™d been eyeing down Gradius Collection on the PSP for a couple of months now and finally decided to grab it from my favourite games retailer. I have already discussed how incredible Ikaruga is so today I want to talk about another inspiring shmp Gradius. In the past year though I have slowly turned this around and have adopted several top tier shmps into my gaming collection. Sure IвЂ™d played Space Invaders and some R-Type on the Commodore 64 but it was a genre that I couldnвЂ™t really care about. Like a lot of gamers I never really made shmps a priority. While shmps use to be the best in its league unfortunately as game mechanics have advanced, shmps havenвЂ™t, they simply canвЂ™t! So in the current gaming environment shmps, particularly for younger players, are difficult to break into compared to the more successful genres. Unfortunately this simple natured foundation has been a anchor restricting shmps from returning to the mainstream.

Shmps are a genre whose bread is buttered on traditional, two dimensional gameplay, that is you either shoot or dodge or do them both at the same time.

Not challenging difficult (although in most cases this is also true) but difficult in that from a distance it is hard to see the appeal. Shmps or shoot вЂ™em ups are a very difficult genre. Gradius Talk and Why I love Shmps July 29th, 2008
