Heavy Weapon to be this week's XBLA Wednesday title photo

Microsoft's XBLA Wednesday program continues its march toward Average Land with the release this week of Pop Cap Games' Heavy Weapon: Atomic Tank. What is Heavy Weapon? I have no clue either, so here's the description of this side-scrolling shooter:

The action title will incorporate multiplayer modes exclusive to the Xbox Live Arcade version (the game is also available for PC online), playable either locally or via Xbox Live for players with Gold subscriptions.

The game will cost 800 Microsoft points, or $10, and will be available on Live at 9 a.m. GMT.

The game will also have 19 missions, survival mode, an Xbox Live exclusive successive boss challenge, co-op, voice chat, leaderboards and other features.

Oh boy, Castlevania can't come soon enough.

Heavy Weapon is a solid, if a bit easy, shooter. SOTN is obviously a more appealing game, but whatev! This will tide me over.

This was released a few months ago for the PC on Steam. It's a quite easy sidescroller shooter with very simple controls. It is quite entertaining for a casual game though it could have been much better.

You can play it for free without registration on Pop Cap Games. It's an OK game but I would pay for it. I'll gladly pay for Worms, Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers though.

TigerZ I know youre an editor and I know you have 'connections', but seriously dude, fuck you. It's a slow ass news day, barely anyone here, don't fucking give me shit for spamming a board no one cares for. Is anyone else bothered? Did Neiro or Summa (or Ron) himself tell you to tell me off? Because if not, you should wipe your ass, because youre shit DOES stink.
