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."
And its part of EA Access, hoping they put 2 and 3 in the Vault so I can replay those aswell, never beat 3 Co-Op
xbox is killing it with backwards compatibility. but they'll STILL find a way to downvote any xbox-positive comment into oblivion. N4G is completely infested with Sony fanboys lol smh
While I agree with your comment about BC being a great thing, I downvoted you because of your fanboy comments about Sony. I own both the XB1 and PS4 and enjoy both of them, and really appreciate that MS has worked so hard to bring 360 games to the XB1.
@ superchiller: my comment was about N4G not about Sony. so i'm going to give your reading comprehension a downvote.
Nice job turning an Xbox positive article into a whine about fanboys. You are as bad as the people you whine about, dude.
@ Razzer: i'll just say something like "phil spencer is doing a great job" & it'll have 50 downvotes for no reason... if somebody says "Phil Spencer, more like FAIL Spencer... amirite?" it will have 50+ upvotes & top comment. if you're pro-xbox, commenting on N4G gets annoying after awhile. you already know what people's opinion is going to be. PS4 = good. / XB1 = bad. no matter what good xbox does, its never good enough for them. it got so bad to the point where i had to address it. so i did.
same, that and resonance of fate, magna carta 2, eternal sonata, fable 1, maybe even star ocean 4.
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.
... cause it's also enjoyable for my crappy playing girlfriend, although we aren't very far yet, and haven't unlucked new characters.
I might pick up Guardian Heroes once that goes down in price and if I like the demo.
i got my GF into Dead Nation and after that we jumped in to resistance 3..we do need to find somethin new cause im tired of MW3 survival mode so ill have to check some of these out.
Early this morning, OnLive added 4 new games to their growing library of titles. Avernum: Escape From the Pit, Crazy Machines: Elements, and T.E.C. 3001 have been added to the OnLive PlayPack. Assault Heroes 2 has been added as a stand-alone PlayPass title.
