To be honest with you, the setup's not extremely important here. The world's presumably in trouble, and you and your co-op partner are called upon to save it once again. By saving it, I of course mean swiveling those joysticks until every onscreen enemy has been reduced to pixelated dust.

One of the surprise titles of Xbox Live Arcade was Assault Heroes from Wanako games. It was a witty, beautiful, and most importantly fun top down shooter with cooperative play. Over a year later Wanako is back with the sequel and it promises to have more style, more bad guys, and more levels. Most importantly the game has a renewed focus on co-op play with not only co-op specific attacks, but different ways to play cooperatively including replaying specific sections of the game or playing through the game in it's entirety.

We sure do love our contests around here. So with that I present to you the latest contest from Co-Optimus.com. Last week Assault Heroes 2 was released for the Xbox Live Arcade. The game is a top down shooter featuring 2 player co-op play via Xbox Live.

The first Assault Heroes title was a solid top down shooter featuring cooperative support on XBLA. It was grossly under-rated though and it wasn't until a recent $5 price cut that a lot of people picked it up. This should bode well though for Wanako games as Assault Heroes 2 is now set to be released on the arcade on May 14th.

What about the changes to co-op? Unfortunately things are still capped at 2 players, but that doesn't mean they haven't improved the experience.
