Anyone else try this game out on live? I have to say its becoming pretty enjoyable in a quirky way. Whats your setups?

Right now Im running one of the chassis that allows 6 weapon slots. On one side I have a pretty badass artillery cannon and the other, I sporting 3 shredder machineguns. Im seriously kicking around the idea of trying a match or two with 6 of those guns. They just vomit bullets.

I just downloaded it (being free this month for Live subs) but haven't had a chance to play it yet. I remember hearing good things about it when it was released.

"Rise of the Martian Bear" is definitely worth the cost, if anyone is really enjoying this game.

Rise adds another 10 levels for you to rank up, a ton of wacky new weapons(lasers!), and you get to fight on Mars.

I don't have Live (my and my nephew's mutual x-box has no connection regardless of where it resides), so I'm curious, anyone have a video of it?

My XBL expired this month on the 7th...but I was still able to download Iron Brigade

On a side note, I also picked up Dishonored for $10 on the XBL Market. Pretty stoked to try out that game finally.

Despite them getting the name of the game wrong, here's a review that touches on the good points.

They didn't get the name of the game wrong. When it launched, it was called "Trenched".

Iron Brigade, formerly titled Trenched, is a 2011 video game developed by Double Fine Productions and published by Microsoft Studios as a downloadable Xbox Live Arcade title on the Xbox 360; it was later set for release as a Microsoft Windows title in 2012. Announced at the 2011 Game Developers Conference by Tim Schafer, Iron Brigade is a hybrid tower defense and third person shooter game, set after World War I in an alternate reality, where the player controls units from "The Mobile Trench Brigade" to fight off robotic species called the Monovision. The player controls giant mecha-style robots with weapon and armor customization through a variety of missions set across the world. The game was released on the Xbox Live service on June 22, 2011, with a delayed release in certain European areas due to trademark issues with the title, with its release scheduled for November 30, 2011 but was ultimately released on December 1, 2011 under the alternate name Iron Brigade. The name of the title was updated worldwide to Iron Brigade alongside the European release.


The rename also included the "Survival(Hospital)" and the new weapons from that game mode as a way of apologizing for the delay.

Ah thanks for that Kan! I thought it was off that IGN would have done that.

Also it adds another two Survival maps.

Survival goes up to wave 60.

Yeah - survival is great with people you know. I think my best is wave 44 when a couple of people just quit and we died

I picked it up today. Really fun, I'd love to get some play with Dakkites, none of my friends wanna play. :(

I was in a match earlier where I told the people I was going after a big Willie and go stay back and watch the hospital. I get all the way out there, and realize everyone followed me instead and the hospital got trashed by a wave of breakers.....

Loving it so far. Pretty fun little co-op game. Need Kan to hold my hand through it for the moment though. Soon I will be free to stand on my own mechanical legs, but not today... or tomorrow!

Never fight a Martian Bear by yourself. Surely, that's good advice.

I've been rocking the Muerto Fiesta 6 shotguns X6 lately. Man, that just strait up murderers tubes. Even though is a short range, I can kill a volt dropper in no time, just a couple pass overs and the thing is toast. Loving the expansion as well.
