Very Important Tips -
Once you've purchased your shootem-up game,buy a tutorial or purchase the strategy guide for use with it. It will help you get used to the controls and develop some key gaming strategies.Obviously, people have different opinions on what games are fun to them.Ignore those people. The twelve year old that originally wrote this article had it all right. After editing it, I realized it was futile to explain the intricacies of the human mind. Jotting very quick notes about one person's experience describes everything.
Buy a PS2,its better.Just kidding,but seriously - check out what's available, and what the prices are before buying an Xbox;I've known a lot of people who have 2 or 3 systems and only use one,make sure you aren't buying something you don't like. I.E. are the controllers comfortable? How cheap are games? How many games are there? How addicted am I going to get.
