    I don't get it
    
    I think Akira is a ballbag, because Halo is the closest thing to a shooter as ever, but then iLLmatic's comment makes it seem like he's right. Unless Shoot-Em-Up and First-Person-Shooter are different?

      Shoot-em-ups (or shmups to some) are usually side-scrolling shooting games.They can also be like Blast Factor or Super Stardust HD for PS3 or Geometry Wars for 360.

      They're completely different.
      
      Shoot-em-up Wikipedia. Stuff like Ikaruga, Blast Works, Touhou Project, Gradius, R-Type, etc. are shoot-em-ups.

This is obvious is it not?

If he plays golf for a living, why would he play want to go home and play it?

I suppose it is, but at least he's a gamer. Plus, it's better than if he were a Snood addict.

I actually like golf games more than "shoot-em-ups." I love the Darius Burger King commercial screenshot for this article
