Assault Heroes 2 Review

Hello and greetings everybody, it is X3R0 9 bringing you a review about an arcade game for that Xbox 360 that came out last week. Hopefully this will be one of many reviews of video games that we can give to you from time to time. So without any further adieu, here is my review of Assault Heroes 2 for the Xbox LIVE Arcade.

Let us start off with the basics. The game is Assault Heroes 2, developed and published by Sierra Online. The game is rated T for Teen because of some blood and of course the violence. It has single player play, of course, while it also has local and online co-op play. This is the sequel to the 2006 IGN Game of the Year, Assault Heroes. This is a top-down arcade shooter that is not much different than the first when it comes to game play.

You fight to save the planet in your 4×4 vehicle on land, but you also get to save the planet from space. Yes, you read it right! We are taking this beyond our atmosphere. While you get to fight on land and in space in vehicles, the game also forces you to do some of the fighting on foot. Some of the additions to the game were hijackable vehicles, more powerful weapons, and interactivity with the environment.

Graphically the game looks like it was touched up on compared to the first one. The craziness of the game has been toned down, but enjoyment of destroying things has been ramped up. The only downfall to this game is the repetitiveness of it. It is a very linear game, but the enemies and the scenery changes often which makes up for it.

As far as the length of the game, my brother (Ultimate Kaz) and I completed it in less than 7 hours on the medium difficulty. So don’t expect this to be one of those long arcade games. If you enjoyed the first Assault Heroes, then you will most likely enjoy this game as well. So, go and check out the demo on the Marketplace or just read about the game here.

Until next time, this is X3R0 9 signing off, and I will see you on LIVE!

Life Outside GTA IV

What’s up gamers, it’s X3R0 9 here giving you a quick low down of what’s been going on at the XBLRadio camp. No worries, nothing bad is going on, we just had to take a week off to take care of some personal things, recover from illnesses, and play some hot games that just came out. Last week we saw the releases of GTA IV and Mario Kart, which also meant that we were either busy playing them or trying to.

Well, enough beating around the bush, let me get to the information you’re all waiting to hear. Episode 66.5 The GTA IV Roundtable will be recording this weekend. INFECTEDPB503 will be getting a list of listeners ready, but if you would like to be on the show, please feel free to send us your Gamertag and Skype name to xblradio@platformnation.com. We will be recording Saturday May 10, 2008 around 7-8pm Pacific Time (10-11pm Eastern Time). As the title says, this will be a GTA IV roundtable, so brush up on your Russian survival skills ‘cause you’ll need them for this episode.

Also to add to this very special extended episode, Mr B4 will be doing his own roundtable. As stated earlier, last week we saw two great releases, the other one being Mario Kart! That’s right gamers, Mr B4 will be hosting a Mario Kart roundtable! So if you want to chat it up with regular gamers about throwing turtle shells and dropping banana peels while speeding around a race track in go-karts, contact Mr B4 at xblradio@platformnation.com.

Now to keep the excitement rolling, we have two codes for Rocketman: Axis of Evil to giveaway to a lucky listener. All you have to do is listen to XBLRadio version 66.5 to find out how to win. INFECTEDPB503 and Mr B4 will have all the details you need to know to find out how to win.

Until next time everybody, this is X3R0 9 and I will see you on Live.

EA Listens

By now, I’m sure you all have heard what EA was going to do with Battlefield: Bad Company, right? They were going to charge gamers that purchased the regular edition of the game to buy five more weapons that the Gold Edition got free with the purchase. Sound a little unfair? Well, EA has heard our outcries and our complaints.

In an interview with IGN, DICE’s Karl-Magnus Troedsson, senior producer of the game, announced yesterday (April 9, 2008) that EA will not charge us to unlock any of the weapons. This is a complete 180 from a couple of weeks ago. These five weapons will be unlockable once the gamer reaches the level cap at 25. This is for gamers that get the regular edition. For the gamers that get the Gold Edition, well, you still get to unlock the weapons as soon as you buy the game.

“We are not charging for any guns that are out there,” said Troedsson. “We read the forums, we read all of the articles and listening to the storm that is out there, we’re not going to charge for any of those guns.”

This is great news for us gamers. We all teamed up, and spoke out against this ridiculous decision to charge us for weapons and won. For that, I congratulate all of us for that, as far as EA, I salute you for listening to us and cutting us a break.
