1942: Joint Strike is a vertical scrolling shooter that takes place in an alternate version of World War II where fighter planes come equipped with laser beams and can destroy multiple enemies with a single attack. It's neither the deepest or flashiest shooter, but we enjoyed blasting hundreds of enemy planes, tanks and warships, not only to beat the game, but to see where we ranked on the leaderboards. In addition, the game's best feature, cooperative play, sets it apart from the competition, as GameDaily and a friend teamed up to save the world from evil.

VGC writes: "Classic top-down shooters have always been a blast to play. Having to face off against wave after wave of multiple types of enemies at once has been the pinnacle of this genre. There have been many games, like Ikaruga, that have tried to change up gameplay mechanics, but most of the time the games always fall back onto the genre's core style. This isn't a bad thing though. It allows the player to reminisce about all the games of this genre that have came before it."
