"Ikaruga is finally here tomorrow"

After waiting for months and then the postponement for the 9th to 23rd May tomorrow is the day. Reason for release - alledgedly so it didn't steal some thunder from Zelda, Nintendo Europe didn't want two big titles coming out within a fortnight of each other ! What a compliment to pay even of it meant we had to wait another two weeks.

Next time I want a game this badly I will get organised and buy it on import.

For those of you who don't know, the official hiscore table can be found at

Get Practicing ...

I've already owned one of those bricks before, good console but none of the games really had any longetivity.

Or just search on eBay:

Not being funny but you can't pick up a Dreamcast for £32 on its own, let alone with Skies of Arcadia.

Some places would charge £32 just for DC Skies of Arcadia because it's a bloody hard game to get hold of.

I've got a dreamcast with Skies of Arcadia and Crazy Taxi 2.

But I want Skies of Arcadia Legends.

And I've already got Crazy Taxi (for a very cheap price) on the GameCube, and Crazy Taxi 3 on Xbox.

You could probably get Ikaruga on import for the Dreamcast too, but you ain't mentioned that have ye.

Stop teasing me. I won't get a copy for weeks.

Skies Of Arcadia for me, then maybe Ikaruga once its lowered in price.

I'll probably end up getting it if and when it goes down to around £15 in price, but Skies of Arcadia (which I have ordered from SR) is my priority play for tomorrow.

I really cant think of what people see in this game.

If I wanted to play something like it, id go to an old arcade machine or get one of those crappy little handheld things from Poundland.

Or id set my Amiga back up, I know theres loads of shooting games like that on there which totally kick this games butt.

No, ive not played it.
Yes, I dont like the looks of it.
No, im not even going to rent it.
Yes, I do smell.

Silly people.

Sue me.

So is skies.....
i don't think i would pick ikarugu over skies.
