For the PS3-deficient amongst you, you've got a second chance to play ... nay, experience Jonathan Mak's procedurally generated musical shooter, Everyday Shooter. If you've got a Windows PC, Valve's Steam client, and an unused $10 bill, you could show up to this rock party a measly seven months late. Let's see if it can prove to be as popular as Steam's other indie audio title, Audiosurf.

ahh bummer my 10$ bill has been used (my blow bill)

jorojoserojas: May 8th 2008; 6:05PM

I have a PS3; would anyone recommend this over Super Stardust HD? I'm really considering picking it up.

KiraXD: May 8th 2008; 6:08PM

i was actually disappointed by it... i personally liked Super stardust better.

I was hoping this was going to be similar to every extend extra, but the actual shooting is kinda clunky.

plus with SSHD you can play your own music now.. so... go for SSHD

el serpiente: May 8th 2008; 7:22PM

It's interesting, but not even close to as fun as SSHD.

Dan: May 8th 2008; 10:24PM

I like it much much better than SSHD. Personally I thought SSHD grew old really quickly.

Dr. John A. Vengeance: May 9th 2008; 11:32AM

SSHD is more of a shooter is than Everyday Shooter (which is more based around the music than the actual shooting component), so it depends on what you're looking for. I say just get both, but get ES over SSHD if you have to choose (then again, I just don't like SSHD, while ES is one of my favorite downloadable console games; it's easily the best thing on PSN, and better than a lot of the stuff on XBLM).

Do you get to pick what music plays, or nay?

Hashbrown Hunter: May 8th 2008; 7:29PM

Technically you can. The music is controlled when you shoot at enemies.

Nate: May 9th 2008; 12:39AM

The answer is no, you can't. You can't pick audio files off your hard drive and play to them. Each level has a set song, but what when and how you shoot does play into the music.

Ihavepants: May 8th 2008; 6:12PM

Ehh... did you just say that AudioSurf was a shooter?

Have you played the game?

RobLink (MKWii code : 0989 1866 6646): May 8th 2008; 6:45PM

No, he called it an 'indie audio title'.

Ihavepants: May 8th 2008; 11:27PM

Why is this person voted up... the article was edited after I mentioned it!

RobLink (MKWii code : 0989 1866 6646): May 16th 2008; 4:16PM

Because I came back and +1'd myself about a bajillion times!

SuperGayParade: May 8th 2008; 6:42PM

I have this game on the PS3 and I would recommend it to anyone that likes Rez etc.

KiraXD: May 8th 2008; 7:17PM

ehhhhh i dont. i love rez, EEE, EEEE, Lumines and such for its crazy electronic music pulsing gameplay and super trippy visuals.. Everyday shooter is just a crappy subpar shooter disguised as a unique indy-artsy-musical shooter.

TheHuntIsOn: May 8th 2008; 6:46PM

Naw, I think I'll skip on this one. The indie scene is full of free and better games similar to this.

SuperGayParade: May 8th 2008; 6:56PM

No... not really. Watch some videos of it?

el serpiente: May 8th 2008; 7:24PM

Hunt always dismisses anything related to the ps3 offhand. Even if he's never played it, which usually he hasn't.

cc123: May 8th 2008; 7:46PM

"The indie scene is full of free and better games similar to this."

Not really, the indie scene is full of worthless crap games like Satan Sam and Tormishire.

Everyday Shooter is actually good, so for the people that don't have a PS3 and like twin stick shooters they should give it a try on their PCs.

TheHuntIsOn: May 8th 2008; 8:41PM

Huh? Anyways serially go check out what Cactus used to produce. Not into my bullet hell shooters but I had a lot more fun with Clean Asia than this.

Einhanderkiller: May 8th 2008; 6:57PM

Looks like another game I'll be adding to my Steam collection. :D

Ihavepants: May 8th 2008; 7:22PM

No, he has changed the link name since I mentioned it...

HighFiveJesus: May 8th 2008; 7:35PM

Well i've been waiting for this for a while, and i'm happy to see they followed through. It looks very interesting, and has good reviews, and its only 10 dollars.

DBone: May 8th 2008; 8:20PM

Massively overrated.

I bought this for PS3 when they put it on sale for $5, figuring I couldn't go wrong with the low price and great reviews. I was wrong. This is one of the most boring shooters around, with some very tame action and strange controls (the stick you use for shooting acts more digital than analog).

If you could play a demo of this game I guarantee you wouldn't want to buy it.

Kevin: May 8th 2008; 8:51PM

i liked it. your guarantee is bogus.

Superstar90: May 8th 2008; 10:00PM

You're guarantee has no support, what do I get if you are wrong? I demand your PS3!

creid: May 8th 2008; 11:13PM

Love this game on PS3. Good to see more people can play it now.

Kevin: May 9th 2008; 9:42AM

Excuse to by PS hardware slowly dwindling...

First Lumines and now EDS?

Ted: May 9th 2008; 11:17AM

If too many of these addictive mini-games come out I won't have any time for real games anymore :(

doug14uk: May 9th 2008; 7:41PM

Its awesome. Actually my favourite PS3 game altogether. Might just have to buy it off steam as well. Can't resist. If only there was an XBLA version. Would love some chievements.
