Shmups FTW!

There is nothing quite like a good shmup. And by good shmup, I mean a game that offers fast-paced action, unending waves of enemies, and so many bullets on screen that it makes your eyes hurt. Seriously. There are plenty of shmups out there. There are even plenty of really good ones.

Then, you have some really excellent shmups, although not nearly as many of those. Following those are the really good ones, the ones that can keep you playing for hours.

And then, you have the greats. Games that can have you playing for days and weeks. Games that will keep you coming back day after day, month after month, year after year. There aren't many of these. You have games from the past, like Galaga, that are classic hits that will keep you coming back for the rest of your life. Sometimes, however, you just can't get to an arcade, and even when you can, you are lucky to find a game you want to continually throw quarters into.

This brings me to games you can play either in your web-browser or install on your computer. Games like Warfare Forever bring plenty to the table when it comes to good shmups. It's something fun to do. Tonite, I had the pleasure of finding something fun, exciting, and altogether my idea of a great shmup: Death vs. Monstars. You can find it here: http://armorgames.com/play/3307/death-vs-monstars

I suggest you check it out.
