After a quiet delay and an early rumor about its release date, Hudson sent a message confirming Omega Five’s January 8 release date. The robotic shmup rings in at 800 Microsoft Points ($10), a fair price for something I thoroughly enjoyed playing at TGS. There aren’t many side scrolling shmups on the market and if you’re a fan of the genre Omega Five deserves your attention. If you like four armed aliens that shoot acid Omega Five deserves your attention too.
