Actually, I'm glad I did buy Heavy Barrel. I wouldn't say it'd win any achievement awards any time soon, but it did seem rather fun. (I played until I ran out of continues.) It's sort of can be described as what Ikari Warriors would be like if Ikari Warriors didn't suck.

The Heavy Barrel was pretty funny, but it's also funny how that character does a rolling jump at the beginning of each stage for no real reason...it looks like he's having a seizure!!

I also played a little of Alien 3...The control is a bit awkward, but it seems like it could be good....kind of "Metroid-like". The game has a really cool picture of the Alien on the "Game Over" screen (plus, it has a voice clip from Aliens of Bill Paxton saying, "Game Over, man!!")

"If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you've played
And never see you when, deliberately, you put things in my way
Well, here's a poke at you; you're gonna choke on it, too
You're gonna lose that smile, because all the while
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles"
