Gatling Gears demo

I didn't get to try co-op
Date played: June 30th
Platform: Playstation 3
Time played: 15 minutes
Session fun rating: 4/10

Nothing to see here folks, move along.  This is a twin stick shooter with mechs.  There really is nothing of significance to add.  The graphics are pretty good, the art is nice and it controls nicely.  The sounds are annoying since you are ALWAYS shooting.  There are basically three weapons, a gatling gun, rockets and grenades.

All of them are useful and fun to use but I've done this stuff so many times before that I just don't see the appeal.  The one redeeming factor was the upgrading system but it didn't hook me and I usually love these games.
