Everyday Shooter is one of those titles that popped up out of nowhere a few months ago. Its creator,
Jonathan Mak, was the winner of three separate awards during the Independant Games Festival awards at GDC this year. After this he was approached by Sony and asked to develop his winning title,
Everyday Shooter, for the PSN. Finally, the game is now available on the American PSN.
To begin with, it's easy to mentally throw
Everyday Shooter on top of the ever-growing pile of dual-analogue shooters. The PSN alone already has more than enough with
Blast Factor,
Super Stardust HD and
Nucleus already vying for the title of "best shooty point collector."
Everyday Shooter, however, manages to differentiate itself from all the others by introducing new, innovative gameplay mechanics, an incredible score and an intimate, personal experience which is the closest thing I've felt to video games being art.
