Xevious? Retro section?
Why isn't Xevious in the SHMUP section? I know it's old, but it's still a SHMUP before it's 'hurrdurr ancient'. Why do we even need a 'retro' section? I feel like retro is based on opinion, and pretty much any game in that section could be better placed in a section it's actual genre. Plus, it ends up making the retro list Xbox-hueg.

Images
This page is boring as fuck, quite contrary to the high octane action displayed by these coin monsters. Would be nice to see some gameplay screen shots so people can look past the drab descriptions.

What's the preferred method of getting screen shots? Google images? PC MAME? Cabinet w/ capture card? - Kierke 02:48, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Anything that isn't supergrainy or jpeg'd as fuck. Although that's a given. But yeah, I'm surprised myself that nobody has (at least recently) brought this to light. I'll get a few and see what I can do. --Dejiko 11:05, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Gradius III/Psikyo
I may be a casual but I didn't like Gradius III. Too difficult, token 3D level, Gradius I/II and SNES G3 were better. It was someone else's rec and my bias is showing, should it be removed? Not to mention a lot of popular arcade titles are 1000x better/more accessible on consoles (Aero Fighters, Gradius 3, Smash TV, Golden Axe, TMNT). I don't want to mutilate or bloat this page beyond necessity.

Also, all Psikyo games are pretty much the same thing with minor variances, like Strikers 1945 and Dragon Blaze. Sol Divide, S1945 III/Plus (I+II remix) were great, though. Maybe just remove S1945 1 and 2? - Kierke 22:24, February 8, 2011 (UTC)
