Game Chronicles reviews Ikaruga

GCM reports:

''Ikaruga is the latest scrolling shooter arcade game to make its way to the Xbox Live Arcade. Originally created by Japanese developer, Treasure, for the Dreamcast, Atari brought the game to the U.S. in 2003 on the GameCube and now we get a pristine remastered version for the Xbox 360 with some sweet graphics and updated multiplayer.

Scrolling shooters were born in the arcades back in the 80's where they thrived for nearly a decade. The blazing action, sequential level design, and addictive gameplay was guaranteed to empty your pockets of tokens before you knew what happened. As arcades started to drop off the map and home video game consoles started showing up shooters naturally made the move to the living room, but by the 21st century the genre is now all but extinct.''
