| * Swarm: This game is pretty awesome, it's everything you'd imagine a late 90s Japanese cover-based shooter would be. It's also pretty tough. All the encounters with enemies feel deadly and the game won't forgive you if you play sloppy. Checkpoints are sparse, so you actually start getting reckless after a while, using your good ammo etc; because you don't want to be mess up holding just a pistol, and when the ammo runs out you start going through the level inch-by-inch. I'm not gonna say there isn't any bad/goofy shit in this game (there is (like backtracking)) and sometimes you have to wrestle with the aiming system a lil bit, but it's totally worth checking out. | * Swarm: This game is pretty awesome, it's everything you'd imagine a late 90s Japanese cover-based shooter would be.

| * Mikey: As a proto-cover-shooter/Metal Gear mash up, the game is really pretty tight, occasional aiming issues aside. The first time you pop out of cover, kick a dude in the stomach and then shotgun him down, well, that feels damn good. I'd only played this game as a rental from the local video store so I didn't have the time to get all the way through it, but I really enjoyed what I got a chance to play. | * Mikey: As a proto-cover-shooter/Metal Gear mash up, the game is really pretty tight, occasional aiming issues aside.
