A complete set should include the superb Raiden Project on the PlayStation, Raiden III on the PS3, and this 360 release. Sales of Aces should hopefully push for a Raiden IV US edition, as the game is more than worthy of a stand-alone purchase".
For people who like to see the process behind a game. In 'behind the scenes of Roche Fusion' our artist has been working hard to get some more awesome looking ships.

The vertically scrolling plane shooter genre (often called "sh'mups") is one of my favorites; it's easy for the player to learn, encourages both good mental skills and quick reflexes, and when done properly allows the player to do a lot of customization of their plane and weapons. Some games in this genre are well known, like Tyrian. Others are a little more obscure in some circles, such as Raiden... but this collection of three Raiden Fighters series games is one of the better offerings in the genre, and available at a mere $20.
