Siliconera Writes:
Light gun games are back in fashion. Sega is leading the pack with more House of the Dead games, one of which is designed for an arcade date. Even smaller developers are getting in on the action to with WiiWare games for the morbidly curious.
Meanwhile, Namco Bandai hasn't been as proactive with their Time Crisis series. Sure, Time Crisis 4 came out for the PlayStation 3, but that was an arcade port. When are we going to get a new Time Crisis game?

"... Now though, light gun games seem pretty darn archaic compared with what’s available on home consoles and PCs, what with full 3D first-person shooters that allow gamers to interact with environments and move through areas at their own pace, using their own strategy and guile (and arsenal of weapons) to make it through a wall of enemies. Now-a-days, ‘on-rails’ shooters are considered a cop out – why not just make a full 3D game?
Just because something seems a little old, however, doesn’t mean that it’s not a whole ton of fun, and Time Crisis: Razing Storm packs enough ‘old fun’ onto one disc to make you forget about advances in videogames, and just lets you kick back, squeeze the trigger and have a blast!"
Motion controls such as those found on the PlayStation Move and the Nintendo Wii give you the option of bringing a very specific arcade genre into your home: the light gun game.
We've seen these games on Nintendo's system, but with Time Crisis: Razing Storm Namco, Bandai has the chance to further prove the PlayStation 3 can be a good home for the "kill everything on screen" games.
Razing Storm doesn't just include the titular game, it also packs in the arcade version of Time Crisis 4, as well as the little-known Deadstorm Pirates. For $50, that's quite the variety of games.
Its been known that Deadstorm Pirates would come with this game for a while now. How did this get approved?
I love the Time Crisis series, I haven't had a chance to get the 4th one, but I look forward to the possible announcement of a new one in the near future.
Hmm looking forward if its true
Time crisis 2 was the good days
