How do you feel about Barrel Rolls? If your like me, you do a barrel roll at any given moment to spice up everyday life. This new XBLA title Aces of the Galaxy is perfect for you. Gamers like me love flying through space blasting our way through wave after wave of enemies. This game is what we have been waiting for. Take on this adventure in co-op mode or single player. What ever you choose make sure you use the barrel roll joke at least 100 times.



Aces of the Galaxy was developed by Artech Studios, Published by Sierra Online. Choose between 3 different ships, each ship has the same attributes and weapons just unique paint jobs. Now back to the fire power! Switch it up from a chain-gun, cluster missiles or my favorite, the torpedoes. Not to worry kids, you have infinite ammo. The only thing that gamers won't like is the lack of auto fire with the chain-gun. You have to keep tapping A. But your multiple lock on cluster missiles make up for it. Your L and R triggers set off the great barrel roll dodge. This evasion tactic will be very helpful later in the game. Along with the ability to slow down time. Yes I did say SLOW DOWN TIME! Watch the video to see what I am talking about.



With no saves, checkpoints, or continues you have one chance at beating this epic space shooter. If you die you go right back to the start. Sorry try again. There are three paths you can choose from if you swoop the warp power-up. You have to have a fond love for killing enemy after enemy with this game, because there are no boss battles. So the ending is lacking a little action. The ending does have one cool feature, what some call the best credits on xbox live. With your three guns you can blast each name of the people who made this game. There is also some story line comedy in the ending. I have only played a few minutes of this epic starfox isometric style shooter. So like many others I am very excited about this game. I wish I had a xbox just for this.
Check out the video, then go download this.





Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crush. Be water my friends.

I just watched a vid, it looks pretty awesome. How long did it take you to play through it though? And is it really worth it to play through it again with another ship?

I cant answer that. I only got to play it for a short time. From what I know The ships are the same. Just diffrent look. so no its not worth playing again with a diffrent ship. But it is Worth replaying to play a different path. You Can switch between 3 paths in game or just stick to one. The person you want to talk to about this game is Ron Workman.

I just played the trial, and I have to say it was actually pretty fun. Not something I'd buy, but it will definitely appeal to a few 360 owners. I just wish someone would make a game that plays like Starfox 64...

After some extensive time with the game, I will say that the two games that were released for XBLM this week are definitely good buys.
