@Caowyth: Might you be talking about Raptor, a DOS game?

What!? No online co-op?

Looks like I can finally start pestering some 2d shooter people into getting a xbox.

It's also reminiscient of an old arcade game called Quartet. In any case, its bought. The more shmup type games we can get on XBL, the better.

Meh, no online co-op. I will still get it but just a little dissapointed. Looks like I will have another game to play with my gf.

this game is well worth the purchase, expect crazy high score multiplier chaining maddness on the leaderboards.

@Dakobah: Well Aegis Wing is free, and I really like that game.

@Zod-like: Agreed. I've been dying to play Ikaruga since I saw the GC version on a shelf at the local game store, and when it finally comes out nothing shall stand in my way! Muwahahahaha!

Why did my last post disappear? :S

The first thing I thought of when I saw the screen shot was Section Z. I used to play that for so long when I was younger even though the levels kept looping and looping.

is 800 points what we are going to see all good games at?

why are the not well thought out games 400 yet amazing games 800?

must we pay such a gouge for decent games.

(just an observation)

This is two-player, correct? My roommate and I love Ikaruga, and this looks like a good holdover until that hits. Of course, it seems silly to purchase a game when he already has it on the Gamecube, a flawless edition. Same goes for Rez. I wish I would have missed out on both just so I could have that experience of playing them in HD for the first time.

@Zod-like:

It should be out in the next few months hopefully. They haven't given a date. I think Rez hits first though.

Witzbold — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 09:53:37 MST

Yeah this totally reminds me of Forgotten Worlds. And thats a good thing!

800 isnt too bad of a price.

Wonder how many stages the game has? Im guessing around 8?

Caowyth — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 09:45:40 MST

I've been looking forward to this. It reminds me of an old arcade game I can't remember the name of (Side-scroller, you got money and could buy upgrades, etc).

My only worry is that it's a Hudson game.
