If you haven't played Radiant Silvergun before, it goes out of its way to give players a unique shoot 'em up experience. There are no power ups, instead you get seven modes of fire, activated by pressing different combinations of the three buttons. It also features a brilliant colour-coded point system based on the order and patterns you kill (or avoid) enemies. There's a nice overview of the mechanics on Hardcore Gaming 101 here.
The XBLA version features local and online 2-player co-op modes, both the original arcade version and Saturn version of the game (with its frankly superfluous animated cutscenes), an option to enable Ikaruga's scoring system and multiple display filters - some of which do a great job of making it look high def.
So until Wednesday, let's have another look at the trailer they released last year.
