L4D2 promises to set a new benchmark for cooperative action games, adding melee combat to enable deeper cooperative gameplay, with items such as a chainsaw, frying pan, axe, baseball bat, and more.

R-Type Tactics, also known as R-Type Command, is a deviation from the usual shoot'em up genre into the tactical/RPG genre, giving you a chance to see all the units and enemies up close and personal, in 3D, while adding 2 player vs mode.
