What are your favourites?

Generally these are cheap to purchase, now they should be on sale, I like them because they are easy pick up and play.

There are a lot on Steam, I am looking at Alien Breed games but they seem to have mixed reviews, I think some people are a bit nit picky even on cheap games.

Alien Breed is ok, it's kind of fun, but it gets so repetitive so quickly. There is always Alien Swarm which is free, but you need to play coop other wise the game is really hard to be beat. If shoot-em-ups count, then I would recommend Jamestown, really awesome, and like most bullet hell games, hard.

Hotline Miami if you haven't played it, it's pretty fun to pick up and play for 10 minutes.

Alien Breed in COOP, man that brings back memories! Great game! Remember the cheat code you had to type on the first computer? :twisted:

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is a blast in co-op.

I love the genre a lot, and Ikaruga is my favorite by far (originally on Dreamcast, then Gamecube, and now available on XBLA) For sidescrollers, my favorite is Sunset Riders (the genesis version).

Thanks, those seem the most appealing to me (prefer the Sci fi setting)

Alien Shooter 2 is great. I'll co-sign Shadowgrounds as well pretty fun. Laura Croft and the Guardians of Light is awesome, though that mixes puzzle solving with shooting so just be aware of that.

I'm going to second Hotline Miami, it's really good, though it doesn't use the usual level structure and gameplay type other top down shooters often have.
