Side stories, I should say. 

STAGE SELECT: I have jammed this in my car, thanks to buying the CD directly from him at a con: 

CAGE MATCH: I'm way more experienced with Space Invaders via free online websites. I am much better at it than Gradius, which I just played for this cage match, and suck at.

... Gradius wins on presentation alone and is nowhere near as monotonus as Space Invaders. I actually want to play Gradius on NES now. Space Invaders is a worthy distraction, but it has little in the way of style and is very repetitive. I could see Gradius becoming addictive ... like, I want to get past where I got. I want to do that now. 

EDIT: Never mind. Fuck Gradius. Space Invaders wins by way of being playable. 

I'm surprised you never played it. It was always right next to Solitaire and MineSweeper. 

Maybe not the right term, but less detailed.

I remember a much lower-res PC version of this. 

Youngblood looks fun, but I was too much a n00b to really enjoy the initial Wolfenstein reboot. I beat it, but putting it on Very Easy makes me feel like I didn't REALLY beat it, and for some reason I skipped a lot of the story, which was the whole point of continuing anyway. 

I still haven't completed all the side content in Kiwami 2. And I already bought Judgment ... 

Just tell yourself you're a bipedal Dr. Suess fish. That'll help your budget.

I think that bottom screen shot looks pretty darn good for DS. 

I can agree with the Souls comparison in that I remember this game being praised for its difficulty ... and just like the Sould series that immediately made me not care about it.
