This Wednesday: Aegis Wing lands on XBLA, forms the head


Arriving alongside the most anticipated game release of all time (oh, and the Halo 3 beta), Aegis Wing is set to remind us yet again that things from outer space are always coming to kill you. Conceived by three enterprising Microsoft interns over the course of a summer and developed in conjunction with Uno's Carbonated Games, the side-scrolling shooter invites up to four players to pilot conspicuously colored spaceships and shoot down alien oppressors this coming Wednesday, May 16th. As with any modern spacecraft, each ship can initiate a mechanical group hug with the others and thus unleash more devastating (and elaborately named) attacks.

Aegis Wing will be available for free on Xbox Live Arcade -- a "gift to gamers," says Microsoft -- but only for "a limited time." The time will be especially limited if you live outside North America, where the game will not be available for download at all. No gifts for you, foreign gamers!
