PixelJunk Shooter
Pixeljunk Shooter Ultimate is an easy buy, for those in love with the genre and those who maybe want a less intimidating gateway to dual stick shooters. though multiplayer can (and probably will) be completely ignored, the single player is varied and interesting enough to be worth a play through.
