I do love me some Metal Slug action; the thrill of just casually running left to right mowing down not-Nazis, zombies, and aliens using Heavy Machine Guns and tanks called Metal Slugs just tickles my fancy so much. Which is why I'm happy to get a taste of the obvious SNK shooter tribute Mighty Goose. Published by Playism and made by Blastmode an...
