Ikaruga drops to half price as XBL Deal of the Week

Originally 800 Microsoft points, some obscure game called Ikaruga has been declared Xbox Live’s Deal of the Week from now until Monday, July 20th; available to XBL Gold members for a mere 400 points. Not sure what it’s all about, but it looks to be some kind of scrolly, shooty thing with lots of bullets.

Ikaruga … That’s like a Greek word or something, right? I’ve never heard of it myself, but at half price it’s probably worth checking out. You know, if you’re into that sort of thing. I guess. Anyway, I suppose if you don’t already have this, uh … whatever this is, now would be a pretty good time to get it.  I’m also hearing that 7-Eleven has some kind of frozen drink which is supposed to be kind of good, I might look into that, too.
