Otomedius Excellent - complete, $9 - This game may be a little cheaper on ebay, but this is as cheap as I've seen it locally, and the price isn't much different. I wanted the 360's shmups, and this is the last of the five or six that got physical US releases; I have the others (the two Raidens, the two Cave games, and Senko no Ronde if you count it). It's a not-the-best Gradius/Parodius-like game from Konami with scantily-clad anime girls. They go a bit overboard with that here, it'd have been nice to see normal Gradius or Parodius instead. Still, it's a Konami shmup, so of course I have to have it; Gradius is my favorite shmup series.

XG Blast! - $3, card only - This is a pretty solid Geometry Wars-like twinstick arena shooter. Looks fun. Just like the DS version of Geometry Wars Galaxies, it supports dpad+buttons or dpad/buttons+touch for aiming.
