Shoot-'em-ups are all about action, and Sierra's Assault Heroes was packed full of it. A throwback to the top-down scrolling action shooters of old, the slick 2006 release set a new standard for the genre on Xbox Live Arcade.
The development studio behind the first title, Wanako Games, is working on a sequel to Assault Heroes, and IGN had an opportunity to play a bit of it at Sierra's recent Gamer's Day event in San Francisco. They are happy to report that Assault Heroes 2 appears to have even more action, wrapped in the same glossy package that made its predecessor so easy on the eyes.
Carlos writes "It’s been a great month so far for the backwards compatibility scheme on Xbox One, but this week may just be the busiest week of all since its introduction. 10 more Xbox 360 titles have made the generational jump and are now playable on Xbox One, so let’s take a look and see if they are worth returning to once more."
Sure, multiplayer is fun, but where do you turn when you and your friends don't want to shoot and chase each other around a map? Leviathyn.com's Blake Anglin gives us a list of great co-op games you and your buddies can jump into when you're needing a break.
