X360 Gal☆Gun- Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» You remember high school, right? Raging hormones, bitchy cliques, craptastic lunches, and that time the gym teacher told you to do just one pull-up in front of that girl you liked. Her name was Jane. You couldn't do that pull-up and Jane never looked at you the same again.

   Gal Gun is high school all over again but with a twist. You're a high school student who the girls are crazy about because hormones are raging. Expressive girls in thigh-high hosiery are the "attackers" in Gal*Gun and your job is to fend them off in a 3D shooting game from Alchemist. Since the girls are aggressive, they charge at the protagonist and your job is to shoot the girls with "love shots." Upon impact, the shots explode into hearts which halt the advances of the rampaging coeds. In addition to shooting the girls on their limbs and torso with normal shots, a sort of "sniper mode" may be activated to concentrate fire on special parts that won't be mentioned... because they're unmentionable.

    Will NCS feel any shame playing Gal Gun? Nope. We'd play it in Times Square on the sidewalk on the Jumbotron in front of 100,000 judgmental people if we could. For those who are scared and ashamed, a special emergency mode may be toggled which instantly changes the screen to a lame 8-bit game. Preorders are welcome to ship on January 27, 2010.
