If you do most of your gaming on the PC, then you likely missed out on the excellent Everyday Shooter, Jonathan Mak's music-driven twin-stick shooter that came out on the PlayStation Network months ago. Time for you to make amends, then, by opening up your Steam account and dropping nine bucks (until the fifteenth of May, at which point it goes up to ten!) for some exposure to one of the more creative takes on the concept. Get out there and get shooting.

And in case you missed it the first time, here's a link to redshoepaul's interview with Jonathan where he discusses the development process, code quirks, and the games from which he drew inspiration. Enjoy!

Just an update to say the tracks are for PS3 owners also, not just 360.

I guess they will be $1 in the Sony Store because that is the same as the 360 version in price.

Good times for all!!
