Is there a Shoot many Robots 4-pack going on?
I wish there was a PC demo. Tried the 360 demo and the controls put me off.

Think I'm going to dive into Oblivion. I bought the Elder Scrolls pack back when it was on sale and I kind of want to wait to build a new PC before I play Skyrim. The terrible sewer intro area is giving me second thoughts.

As soon as you get out you'll just look around and fall into the game so hard. It's great depending on what you think makes a great game.
If Oblivion isn't doing it for you, install the Nehrim mod. Better than Oblivion in my humble opinion.
Install the alternate start mod. It skips the entire sewer sequence.
I fired up Oblivion one day and told myself I'd just get through the character creation/sewer and I did so. Lost abut 50 hours in the course of a few weeks as soon as I did. I so need to get back to that.

What are the best twin stick shooters on steam?
I love this genre and i'd like recommendations.
Really Big Sky and Mutant Storm Reloaded seem good.

Nation Red is a well-liked one. Seemed ok when I tried it on a free weekend; a lot of focus on leveling up and getting new "perks" instead of just score-based play.

I'm looking for something more similar to GW, SSDHD, etc...
Simple but nice visuals and high-score/survival focused.
Waves and Scoregasm are great.

Already played Waves, it's fun, but i don't like the bomb mechanic and the maximum high score is, for some reason, blocked to a certain amount on the online leaderbords.
Tried Scoregasm, don't like the limited motion.
Ion Assault is also really good.

Beat Hazard is a lot of fun and it's going to be in an indie bundle soon
Aw, I love the bomb mechanic. Building up a 300+ multiplier with bombs and slow-mo feels great.
As far as counter stopping goes (the value's 2^31 - 1, which programmers will recognize as the highest value a signed 32-bit integer can hold), there's an achievement for it.

Bought it. Makes the game better and no more of those annoying drops you can't use.
Mostly trying out the singleplayer for now, having fun with the old school AoE gameplay and for a "free" game it sure is polished.

I think it makes the game too easy and focused on mindless bombing; i prefer saving bombs and using them tactically like in Geometry Wars.
I'd like an overview of Really Big Sky, the trailer kinda sold me on it, but i'm still uncertain lol.
Seems cool but also very graphic intense, i'm wondering how it would run on my laptop...
Hmm I'm on the fence, I'll fire it up and play the free for a little and see.
What's the SP component like? Is it akin to the old games in that you can quickly and easily set up skirmish matches against the AI based on selected civilisations, terrain type presets (with the maps themselves being randomly generated), and whatever else? And do you progress through the various ages and unlock new buildings/units throughout or is everything available to you right away?

Microsoft Flight should be up today on the store.
I'm less than thrilled by the description of the DLC. Mainly the fact that the Mitsubishi Zero and P-51 Mustang DLCs only contain exterior views of the planes, no cockpit view. Wtf kind of a flight sim doesn't give you cockpit views for a particular plane model? Why the hell would I want to fly them from exterior view like a model airplane?
I'm guessing you can't even dump flour bombs off of them like in FSX, and pretend like you're bombing Pearl Harbor or whichever part of Hawaii the game is set in

I bought the X superbox forever ago because I knew it would be something I'd be way into. I still have never touched it.

I like beat hazard but as a twin stick shooter it's just not that good. Too limited and probably too easy if your good at shooters imo.
I would get jamestown instead

Not a twin stick, but it is excellent.
I'd recommend Beat Hazard Ultra, it's wonderful. Scoregasm isn't half bad either, and Nation Red is superb.
Practically no one played it at launch, main reason why I bought the 360 version at the time.
The game is decent fun offline, but it truly excels online. It's amazing that Blur never really caught on, even on XBL where player counts were maybe ~2k-5k, which was low for a new game then.
Edit: apparently I already own blur on the PC. wtf? lol, when did I buy that?
Weren't the Blur online servers taken down? Or was that just a console version?
Blur seemed cool, kind of like Mario Kart.
I heard good things about Capsized, and I think I bought it and played some, and it's a pretty game, and I seem to recall the music was awesome, but download the demo if you're on the fence in case you hate the contrls.

Wait I'm confused, Blur actually has licensed cars? I'm pretty sure I see a Mustang in one of the screenshots. Or are they knockoff versions of licensed cars like in Burnout?
One thing I absolutely hated in Burnout Paradise -- the lack of an optimal route on the map, so half of my time was spent trying to figure out which way to go.
Either way, $5 for Blur versus $50 for Ridge Racer seems like a no-brainer.

Sweet. I think I picked it up right after you and Stallion and morningcar and all those other people stopped playing it, sadly.
