Here's a little tidbit about Fabio's gaming tastes: While playing Thief 2, he discovered that the guards' swordfighting AI really wasn't that great. Whereupon he abandoned all pretense of stealth and ran through the levels slaughtering everything in his path and declared the game boring. If you find yourself nodding and saying, "Yes, that is what I would have done," then you probably won't like shmups and should immerse yourself in the world of competitive multiplayer strategy games. If, instead, you think, "What is he, stupid? That's not the point!" then you see where I was coming from when writing that draft.

Secretly, Fabio and I both want the same thing. He wants depth and balance in his strategy games, I want depth and balance in my action games, and our common ground is brawler games.
