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.)
