July 13th, 2009 1 Comment   Posted in DLC, Online, Shooter, Xbox 360

Major Nelson has once again notified us of a Deal of the Week offer on Xbox Live. This time, it’s Ikaruga getting the cut with a new price point of just 400 Microsoft Points, dropped from the previous 800.

You’ll have to be an Xbox LIVE Gold Member to snag this deal, of course, and it will only run until Monday, July 20th.

Below is a description of the game:

The Japanese arcade hit Ikaruga comes to Xbox LIVE® Arcade! Treasure’s award-winning scrolling shooter brings a tactical twist to the genre with its yin-and-yang gameplay: the color of your ship determines your effect on enemies. In this polarized system, enemy ships and their bullets are one of two colors. Attack an enemy of the opposite color for extra damage. Absorb enemy fire of the same color as your ship, and use the energy for a special attack. Destroy multiple enemies of the same color to score a chaining bonus. Play solo or cooperatively, and use your polarity to achieve victory!
