What are some of the absolute BEST run and gun shooters you've ever played? In other words, what're your favorites? Metal Slug X and 3 are two of my favorites in this awesome genre. Unfortunately, I've never played a Contra game in my life. But I have played Gunstar Super Heroes, which was a semi-remake of Gunstar Heroes, which was inspired by Contra.

I only played it for about an hour at my cousin's house but I really liked Dead Nation.
But it depends on what kind of perspective you like more.

I loved the hell out of all of the Metal Slug games...In fact, I may just draw some fan art of it sometime soon.

Run-n-gun? Like side-scrolling? If that's the case then all of the MetalSlugs! If any run and gun then I'd have to say Borderlands 2!

Megaman and Megaman X games are all fantastic. Megaman 3 and 4 were my favorites.
I do enjoy a good Metal Slug as well.

Time Splitters was a fun split screen game.
So was the Nintendo James Bond game, I forget the title

Those are first-person shooters. I'm talking about 2d run and gun shooters "shmups".

Rapid Reload is one of my favorite run n' gun games. It's an old obscure PS1 game that was only released in Europe and Japan.... so unless you're keen on importing games, the only way to play it is to use an emulator, but even so, it's awesome!
