While the game doesn’t break any barriers for new game types, Everyday Shooter puts a nice spin on the top-down 360 degree shooter. A vibrant color scheme and on-screen text hints and indicators coupled with cool guitar music and sound effects put a nice spin on the genre. While I love the game on the PS3, I can’t say the same for the PSP version.

Everyday Shooter was created by Jonathan Mak initially as a homebrew title written in C++. Sony’s Santa Monica Studio picked up the game and brought it to the PS3 where it received both critical and commercial success. Jonathan describes it best: “Everyday Shooter is an album of games exploring the expressive power of abstract shooters. Dissolute sounds of destruction are replaced with guitar riffs harmonizing over an all-guitar soundtrack, while modulating shapes celebrate the flowing beauty of geometry.”
