Free XBox Live Arcade Title Available for Download Tomorrow

Aegis Wing, a new 2D side-scrolling space shooter developed by three Microsoft interns, will be available for download for XBox Live Arcade tomorrow, for the price of... free.

Up to four people (either locally or over XBox Live) can hop in and fight against the evil Araxians and save the planet Europa. Players can combine their ships to create larger, more powerful ships, with the ability to use "Super Weapons".

While the idea of living out my sweetest Voltronesque fantasies excites me to no end, I'm anxious to see what kinds of control consequences this mechanic will see during game play.

"No, XxCosbyFanXx, don't waste all our ammo!"
"I like-a shoot the lasers, Rudy."
