Think Contra. But the right analog stick is your gun. So you can fire in every direction while running around like a tard. They toss in some tanks and camels with mounted rockets as well. Very fun game.

Call me weird or whatever but I just could not ever get in to the Metal Slug series. I know it's one of SNK's flagship titles. Oh well, hopefully next week's releases will be a bit more appealing to me.

What ever happened to two new games every week? For awhile, it was one original game and one classic console game.
