    here are so many shooters on the Xbox 360 that you'd think it was originally designed to be a training device for the military. Name the type of shooter you want and it can be found but if gamers aren't careful they end up with something a little too hardcore. The recently released Ikaruga falls into this category. Unless you're a diehard shooter fan it'll give you a beating worse than the one Shane Falco took in the '96 Sugar Bowl, but if you have the skills and are up to the challenge this is a must own.
