overdrive's Ion Assault (XLA) review

I think trippy colours do enhance the shooter experience, mainly because otherwise you'd be looking at a static fucking screen for fifteen minutes.

I definite don't disagree with that. You need to give players of shooters graphics that aren't static and pretty explosions or they'll simply dump your game and pick up any of the many that give them that. I just think it was a bit mishandled here to where your small ship could get lost in the pretty explosions.

I love good graphical effects, but when they lead to me suffering what I feel to be cheap deaths, I draw the line.

Indeed, indeed. I wasn't disagreeing, just postulating.
