Gradius IV

Anyone play this game? It’s a bit old school but it is one of the best airplane shooters around. The game is ridiculously hard. My roommate and I just spent another 2 hours today trying to be it…on EASY MODE!!! It’s just unbearable. We finally gave up.

There’s a lot of attention regarding the X800GT series recently. Seems like a decent budget card for gamers. At first glance it seems to be just about the same as the X800 Pro, but with the R480 core, overclocking is just superb.

I should just make a contest to see who can actually beat the game on Normal Mode. Then imagine the hardest difficulty…
