Remember Aegis Wing? That Xbox Live Arcade game that was developed by a few students at Carbonated Games? The one that you probably remember the US getting as a free gift last week. Well it seems that us Europeans might be getting a piece of the action soon.
Microsoft is planning to give Xbox Live users a nice little bonus in the coming weeks by giving away the Carbonated Games-developed shooter Aegis Wing for free.

The release has been removed and replaced with information on next week's release, Soltrio Solitaire.
