What happened to Ikaruga?

It's just been announced that it will be coming out on April 9th, i.e. Wednesday after next. I've never played it before, so I'm looking forward to it.

The Japanese XBox site has Mr Driller Online listed for release on XBLA on April the 2nd. Whether that's worldwide or not, I don't know though:

That would be a must buy. I love that game
Maybe it's too good for us though...
Us Brits need protection for good game design.

I would definitely buy Mr Driller if they don't screw it up. Hopefully it comes outside of Japan.

Yeah I was thinking the same, What helmets?

Not so much the helmet, but I'd like the wooden Xbox. That joypad's awesome.

...and I would have bought that board game too.

It was on the 'Inside Xbox Live' tab yesterday on Live - Major Nelson's April Fool thing. Sorry for being vague

[Phineasfool]

Ok, I would so take one of those helmets now that I see it.

Downloaded the playable of Army of Two and played it split-screen. After the co-op fun that was had with GoW I was initially looking forward to this. Unfortunately the (mostly) negative reviews put me off buying it. But I actually quite liked the demo, though - finished the tutorial but didn't have time to try the end mission.

A good second-hand buy? I mean, is the full game any good, or does the cover/diversion play quickly become tedious?

[Bod]

I bought the game a couple of weeks ago ... it is worth a punt if you can get a cheap second hand / or trade in price one.

As mentioned before, the game is soooo much better when played with 2 human players. But is still enjoyable played with the A.I. computer player, especially once you get Gears of war controls out of your head & start using the computer character to draw the fire away from you & do the odd suicide run for you.

The graphics are nice throughout, & the sound is top too ... just lacking 'something' that you can't quite put your finger on, when it comes to the gameplay ... but it's still fun & I would be interested if they do a sequel.

We'll let Yahtzee have the final word
