XBLA Wednesday: Solitaire & Aegis Wing

Filed in archive XBLA on May 15, 2007

What's more exciting than a two-game Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday? An XBLAW where one of the games is free! Cheapskates rejoice -- Aegis Wing, a 2D shooter with online multiplayer for up to 4 players, will come at the oh-so-reasonable price of free. Here's the details:

Game Features

• Amazing environmental art
  


• Full symphonic soundtrack
  


• Up to four-player simultaneous cooperative multiplayer gameplay, either locally on the same Xbox 360 console or over Xbox LIVE*
  


• Ability to attach your ship to your wingmen's spacecraft to gain the "turret" ability and increase the firepower of the Super Weapons
  


• Four Super Weapons: the Hades Beam (wreaks total destruction), the gorgon Burst (wipes out incoming fire and disables enemy spacecraft with an electromagnetic pulse), the Arcus Missile (a heat-seeking missile) and the Lambda Shield (deflects incoming fire back at enemies)
  


• Six epic missions and several memorable boss encounters to fight through

This week's other release is Soltrio Solitaire, which includes an ironic two-player mode with Live Vision Camera support. Soltrio Solitaire will run you the decidedly not-free amount of 800 MS bucks ($10 US. Just $8 more than a pack of cards on Amazon.)
