This weeks game is apparently Aegis Wing and will set you back a cool 0 Points.

Microsoft today revealed via a hastily removed press release on it?s Gamerscore blog that Aegis Wing will be making it?s way to XBLA this wednesday for a cool 0 Microsoft Points (for a limited time anyway).

Aegis Wing is one of those old school side scrolling shmups that all you hardcore gamers love because they are just SO GOD DAMN HARD and stuff.

So remember, Aegis Wing, XBLA, This Wednesday. FOR FREE.

Aegis Wing is out and I can confirm that it can be downloaded here in the UK if you use a US account. It's almost like they did it deliberately seeing as how they can restrict these things properly now.

Whatever the reason, it's well worth the effort. I just played through the game on normal mode with 3 other people in co-op and it's a lot of fun. Single player is basically 4x as hard though because you don't have the backup.

you're right, it is sad. makes one wonder what the stuff we're playing now will look like to the grandkids!

also, i'd like to say Aero Wing is a pretty awesome and addictive! i'd like to thank MS for putting it out there for us, it's mighty kind of them and the sort of trust-building, community-constructing gesture we hopefully will be seeing more of in the future. it came just in time as my frustration with some of their corporate mentality lately was building up.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By C:Amie · Posted

      Yay, a forced new tab telling everyone edge just updated with a load of advertising in it twice as often as we currently get it. That'll never be abused. 😏

      I recently tried edge. It seems a lot better. A lot of the junk in it is gone. It seems less bloated and snappy.
    • Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns

      By zikalify · Posted

      Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels The UK consumer rights organization, Which?, is claiming that “potentially lethal knock-off chargers” are still being sold on online marketplaces seven years after it exposed the danger of these chargers. In its latest investigation, it bought 15 USB phone chargers from several online marketplaces and found they were missing key information, meaning they cannot be legally sold in the UK. Which? bought the 15 chargers from seven online marketplaces. These were Amazon (including Amazon Haul), AliExpress, B&Q Marketplace, Debenhams Marketplace, and eBay. It said that the chargers were so badly made that anyone using them was at risk of electric shock. Over half the chargers also posed fire and explosion risks. Of the chargers purchased, one was a fake Apple USB-C 35W power adaptor charger. To confuse buyers, the box was branded with an Apple logo, but testing found it to be a fake. Further testing picked up arcing sounds after 10 seconds of use, where a current jumps between two parts of the electrical circuit, which can cause fires, explosions, or electric shock. The manufacturers of this particular charger also put modeling clay inside it to make it feel more weighty, robust, and genuine. Not all of the chargers were technically faulty; however, some were missing key packaging, markings, and documentation, meaning they can’t be sold in the UK legally. Which? said that it is now campaigning alongside a coalition of safety groups and businesses for new laws that make online marketplaces responsible for ensuring the safety of products that they choose to list on their websites. It also said the government needs to start using powers under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act, which was adopted last July, to impose safety requirements on online marketplaces via secondary legislation, but so far, there have been delays. No matter what country you are in, be sure to properly research what you are buying and only buy authentic chargers to prevent fires. You can read more about Which?’s research here.
