Ok, now the sequel to my Tyrian/Raptor post, Tyrian vs. Baryon.
Just kidding, but I do have some comments.

The demo of Tyrian is better than the demo of Baryon.  I can only
compare based on the first demo of Baryon, but Tyrian just seems to
be funner.  Parallax scrolling, GREAT weapons, interesting two player 
idea.  Baryon has ok sound, and good graphics.  Game play wise, it IS
very fun.  Death by one measly hit makes it much more frantic and 
competitive.  But it just doesn't match up to Tyrian.  Both are
great games though.  
My list would be:

1. Tyrian
2. Baryon
3. Xenon 2
4. Raptor
5. Major Stryker

Mind you, I still like Raptor a lot, but it pails in comparison to
the new games (except Xenon 2, a classic).  Wouldn't it be cool
if they redid Xenon 2 with better sound/graphics and a two player 
mode?
