PALGN: Espgaluda II Black Label Review
PALGN writes: "Let’s face it – Australia misses out on a lot of great games, particularly if distributors consider a title to be too obscure. This is understandable in terms of business practice, but frustrating for those on the hunt for such games, especially if they are unable to shop online. The shmup (short for shoot ‘em up) is a good example of an entire genre that suffers from this. It is quite a niche market just about anywhere outside of Japan and not just Australia. It is quite rare to see a shmup on a store shelf here, with only a handful of titles, such as Ikaruga and Soldner X, being available for digital download. But it seems as though this perspective is slowly shifting, with the recent release of Death Smiles in the USA and the region-free Mushihimesama Futari on the Xbox 360."
