Game Freaks 365: Ion Assault Review

Game Freaks 365 writes: "In the early 80's, Asteroids was a huge deal. It was not even the first shooting game of its kind (it was preceded by Space War) yet its long-term impact on the genre is undeniable. Fast forward thirty years, where the term "shooter" encapsulates so many different types of games and the "Asteroids shooter" still holds its own. The Asteroids niche is perpetuated every couple of years by a new top-down, multi-directional shooting game that pays homage to Atari's classic while adding a few contemporary elements of its own. This year that game is Ion Assault." (Ion Assault, Xbox 360)
