Classic Game Room HD - IKARUGA for Xbox Live review

Classic Game Room was the FIRST classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999. Returning in 2008 with new episodes, Classic Game Room breaks out a review of IKARUGA for Xbox Live Arcade XBLA, released in April, 2008. Originally released by Sega in the arcade, it later made it to the Japanese Dreamcast (JPN) and then to the Nintendo GameCube here in the United States. Treasure made Ikaruga for the Xbox 360 online service and made it well with achievements, gamer points and high definition graphics. The genre of this game is a SHMUP, but it Shmups like you've never seen it before. This awesome Vertical scrolling shooter, Manic shooter, Shoot 'em up shooting space ship game is based on a unique polarity system where you ship can absorb enemy fire of the same black or white polarity that your ship is in at the time!! Is there a chance that we'll be seeing RADIANT SILVERGUN on Xbox Live any time soon? Let's hope so! Treasure was formed by former Konami employees an they have produced games like Wario World, Gunstar Heroes, Bangai-O and Mischief Makers.

Be sure to watch the original Classic Game Room episodes. Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The HD series is reviewing 30 years of video games with PS3, Genesis, NES, Atari and Xbox 360. XBLA.

Why does everyone say white and black? It's red and blue!

And, on another note, the concept art for the pilot of the Ikaruga seems to have what looks like two rounds in his forehead.

One of the toughest games I've ever played--back in the day, my friend and I literally took HOURS just to reach the boss. Needless to say, we never even touched level 2.

..Wish I had a copy right now :(
