''Xbox Live Arcade is a very unique system that provides users with content and games that are small in portion and price. While it may seem to be a bit oversaturated in top-down shooters, that doesn't mean there isn't room for more, so long as they're fun to play. Assault Heroes 2 is fun and proves that, while most XBLA games are shallow, a sequel to a game already on XBLA (Assault Heroes) can still be a critical success. Not only does Assault Heroes 2 bring more of the same "cowboy" type of fun that the original had, but it brings in more of it - and faster.
Assault Heroes 2 brings one mantra to the table: addictive gameplay. This is no more noticeable than when you first start the game only to see a complete lack of story development as you're thrown headfirst into an oncoming army of baddies. Anybody looking for deep gameplay marred by story-changing elements and surprise twists should hit the door right now because Assault Heroes 2 will not provide any of that. However, for those of you who just want to hop on for a few minutes and blow up some stuff, welcome home! Assault Heroes 2 was designed with you in mind, and the system works surprisingly well.''

And its part of EA Access, hoping they put 2 and 3 in the Vault so I can replay those aswell, never beat 3 Co-Op
xbox is killing it with backwards compatibility. but they'll STILL find a way to downvote any xbox-positive comment into oblivion. N4G is completely infested with Sony fanboys lol smh
While I agree with your comment about BC being a great thing, I downvoted you because of your fanboy comments about Sony. I own both the XB1 and PS4 and enjoy both of them, and really appreciate that MS has worked so hard to bring 360 games to the XB1.
@ superchiller: my comment was about N4G not about Sony. so i'm going to give your reading comprehension a downvote.
Nice job turning an Xbox positive article into a whine about fanboys. You are as bad as the people you whine about, dude.
@ Razzer: i'll just say something like "phil spencer is doing a great job" & it'll have 50 downvotes for no reason... if somebody says "Phil Spencer, more like FAIL Spencer... amirite?" it will have 50+ upvotes & top comment. if you're pro-xbox, commenting on N4G gets annoying after awhile. you already know what people's opinion is going to be. PS4 = good. / XB1 = bad. no matter what good xbox does, its never good enough for them. it got so bad to the point where i had to address it. so i did.
same, that and resonance of fate, magna carta 2, eternal sonata, fable 1, maybe even star ocean 4.
Sure, multiplayer is fun, but where do you turn when you and your friends don't want to shoot and chase each other around a map? Leviathyn.com's Blake Anglin gives us a list of great co-op games you and your buddies can jump into when you're needing a break.
... cause it's also enjoyable for my crappy playing girlfriend, although we aren't very far yet, and haven't unlucked new characters.
I might pick up Guardian Heroes once that goes down in price and if I like the demo.
i got my GF into Dead Nation and after that we jumped in to resistance 3..we do need to find somethin new cause im tired of MW3 survival mode so ill have to check some of these out.
Early this morning, OnLive added 4 new games to their growing library of titles. Avernum: Escape From the Pit, Crazy Machines: Elements, and T.E.C. 3001 have been added to the OnLive PlayPack. Assault Heroes 2 has been added as a stand-alone PlayPass title.
