Let the happiness ensue, for this is the week that Ikaruga (800 Microsoft Points) makes its grand entrance on Xbox Live Arcade in not only Japan, but elsewhere around the world too.
Additional features for this port of the popular shmup include 2-player co-op (on and offline), the ability to record and share videos of your gaming prowess, and of course, prettier graphics.
Finally, Poker Smash fans will be pleased to hear that 2 downloadable content packs will be out on Wednesday, each priced at 100 points. One features 15 additional puzzles, while the other includes 2 new action mode environments.
How many of you are going to get Ikaruga? Raise your hand high! I've got points loaded onto my XBL account and my Hori arcade stick dusted off in preparation.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
