Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land As a closet shmuppet, Omega Five for Xbox Live Arcade was already on my list of must-have titles simply on the merit of its genre. Seeing it in action in this trailer has only served to put it on the list of games I will bring back in the makeshift time machine I fashion in the year 2037 to make sure I get to play it before everybody else. Seriously, I need this game right now. Why must you tease me Hudson?
Hudson’s Xbox Live Arcade shooter Omega Five may have been unfairly lost in the noise of the thunderous announcements of Rez HD and Ikaruga for the Xbox 360, but anyone interested in shmups simply must take a moment to learn more about the game. Developed by a five-person team at Natsume, Omega Five immediately won me over with one of its playable characters. She’s not only sporting some revealing Brazilian cut bustier get up that’s apparently perfect for space battles, she immediately cemented the game’s similarities to my personal favourite arcade shooter of all time, Forgotten Worlds.
Unlike Forgotten Worlds, you won’t purchase weapon upgrades from shops. However, there is an undeniable series of moments, enemy types and aesthetic decisions that invoke memories of Capcom’s futuristic shooter.
