Lovely, aren't they? Well, it was through Kotaku I found out all about them glorious new R-Type Tactics screens Irem released. See them all here. As for the game itself, it's going to be a very promising blend of strategy-shmup action and probably play something like a turn-based version of classic R-Type. With glorious graphics and on the go, that is.R-Type Tactics, you see, will be one more addition to the rapidly expanding Sony PSP library of excellent, quirky & interesting games I simply have to play. Oh, and there's a preview over at IGN. They seem quite a bit eager themselves...

So, you've never played it at the arcades or on the Amiga? oh, my. Anyway. This one isn't a shooter. More of a strategy game....
