Ikaruga Achievements *Mostly* Doable
10:30PM Luke Plunkett | You know, I’ve actually finished Ikaruga on the Dreamcast. And I’m absolutely rubbish at shooters. So I’m proud of that. Finishing the game is one thing, though.

Miiiiiiiiiiight give those two a miss. Ikaruga Achievements [Inside MGC, via GayGamer] More »
