Geddon it!
Alpha Squad is a top down shooter which supports up to four players either locally or online. You take on the role of one of the soldiers in Alpha Squad who are searching for whoever put a bounty on their heads. The action takes place in an area type environment where exits can be found on the sides of the screen and in buildings. You move from screen to screen shooting enemies, exploring and collecting power ups to gain new weapons. This looks to be a really good game but I think with a couple of others joining in it would make for a great game. Alpha Squad costs 240 :MSPoints: and more information can be found on the Marketplace, a trailer can be found on Page 2.
Pixelbit Snooker & Pool – I wait ages for a decent snooker game and two come in the past month (8 Ball Pool Champion). Pixelbit Snooker & Pool is a more complete package with Snooker, UK 8-ball, US 8-ball and 9-ball game modes which can be played against the CPU or against another locally, sadly there’s no online mode. Although 8 Ball Pool Champion costs 80 :MSPoints: and this game costs 240, you get a lot more for your money and I think this is the best out of the two. Well worth checking out! More information can be found on the Marketplace, a trailer can be found on Page 2.
