Soldner-X came out on the PSN a couple weeks ago and after spending a considerable amount of time on the game, I'm really enjoying it! The word "shmup" isn't too common nowadays. Games like Gradius or R-Type are probably the most popular space shoot-em-ups, but the shmup genre returns to form here.
At $9.99 there's a ton of replay value, but that's only if you don't mind the intense difficulty so be warned that this is a pretty hardcore title. It's not as accessable as Super Stardust HD, but if you invest the time it is extremely rewareding. The crisp 1080p visuals and the suprisingly good soundtrack further compliment the overall package.
I don't mean to sound like a spokesperson for the game. I just think Soldner-X will be overlooked in the obviously crowded season. It's a really solid, but difficult shooter and IGN has a review up if you're interested.
Any other thoughts from those who played it, too? Hit me up on PSN if you have the game :D
