I'm really hoping to maybe beat this game this week. I love Gyruss. I prefer the arcade and Atari 8bit versions, but this one is still snazzy and definitely looks the best.

Go for it! This might be your chance to grab the #1 spot in the weekly contest.

Thanks for the encouragement, dude. I need to make up for not participating last week. It was the first game I missed participation for this year.

I've got to say, I'm not wild about shooters typically but this game is addictively fun.

No score worth posting at this point in time, finally got past Pluto though, big step.

Guess I'll grab the lead before we get to the 1 million mark.

Why do I have a feeling this "tall guy" is pretty good at Nintendo games

The best thing about Gyruss is that it plays Bach's Toccata/Fugue in D minor as the background music.........the worst thing about Gyruss is that it doesn't play it while you pause the game.

HOWEVER..................................................................................no there is no however it just sucks that it doesn't play Bach when you pause.

LISTEN TO CLASSICAL!

For the most part the band sucks, but this song is killer, that synthesizer shredding is amazing.

I have my moments, but I'm probably not a threat this week, unless I get a LOT better at this game.

If someone hasn't heard it I would be pretty perplexed.

I want to see him just tear it right out of the sky.

You made up 4 points, and I had a Golf-free weekend

I'd say I'm the winner there
