This summer the Xbox LIVE Arcade will be getting another four player third-person shooter called Scourge: Outbreak. Stop me if you've heard this one before: Set in the near future, and small team of specialized mercenaries must take on a secret organization whose mysterious fuel source, "Ambrosia," is threatening the safety of the world. Players will be able to level up their characters and use special perks and abilities. Really? I know several titles have similar story lines, but I finished another upcoming squad-based third-person shooter less than 24 hours ago and this premise seems very familiar. 

I think we can all agree the world needs more side-scrolling brawlers. Nick and I recently played through the arcade classic, Golden Axe, for our regular "This Week In Co-op" column. We had a lot of fun, but something was a little off... oh yeah, it was the eye-ravaging graphics. I would like to get my old-school brawl on, but I don't want to do irrepreable harm to my vision. Whatever will I do? Play some Sacred Citadel, that's what!
