  xSynergy Gate
When I first saw Xsynergy Gate on the internet. I immediately shunned this off as one of those typical japanese space shooters game with just some eye candy but no real gameplay innovations to speak of. And ho was I wrong. This game is revolutionary in almost every aspect. First of, gameplay is quite different from usual. The game plays from a slightly tilted down view (However it is still vertical technically). There are the usual specials, but these specials are quite cool to use in my opinion. The one that really caught my eye was the energy rope, which you will have to "grab" your enemy with, then detonate it. Very cool! The enemy's are quite typical in my opinion and have that usual pattern. However their attack patterns are quite unique, like the ship which sends waves of energy blasts in a ripple fashion, which is quite fun to avoid. Graphics are impressive. Ranging from detailed spaceships to ultra-neat explosion effects. However the backgrounds are quite repetitive and dull during the first part of the game. Not to worry though as things get better with time. There is also a FPS display at the top right hand corner. Which is a nice feature. The sound sector isn't a high point but gets the job done. The program though being a japanese game is quite straight foward to begin with, not really alot of options to meddle with except for resolution. And those who don't like the ZXC control style will be glad to know that the keys are configurable. Summing up, Xsynergy Gate is a solid shooter game with high production values and good innovative features. Well worth downloading if you are a shooter fan. Note: not every screen resolution will work with your computer. Keep trying till you find one which is suitable.
