Dux Gameplay Video - Holy plastic R-Type Batman. The enemy seem a little lifeless, but so far I love the style.

Smiley’s Shooty Adventure - Llamatron via Geometry Wars via emoticon, pixelripalicious.

Fruitaku - your only source of fruit related video game news. Ahar!

Bruce Everiss vs Pesky Reality - what?

What Gamers Want: Family Gamers - “By the time I look down and figure out which button to press, it’s already too late and I’ve crashed.” “Why do you need so many buttons? All I want to do is steer the car”.
