Gatling Gears Review (XBLA)
Gatling Gears was developed by Vanguard Games and published by EA. It was released on May 11th, 2011 for 1200MSP. A copy of the game was provided for review purposes.
Gatling Gears is a top-down, dual-stick shooter where you play as a retired Gatling Gear pilot, Max Brawley. Your objective is to shoot your way through 30 levels including six boss fights in order to stop the “Empire” from destroying your surrounding area and draining all natural resources. The story is lacking, but dual-stick games are all about the action, not the story. Gatling Gears certainly does bring hours of fun filled action, but the game also has its fair share of problems.
Gatling Gears release date and price announced
Gatling Gears will be available on May 11th for 1200MS points.

XBLAFancast – Episode 9
Steve Melton and Stephen Haberman join John and Andrew this week and they cover a lot of topics. Links for each individual news story can be found below.
Among the news stories is a Burnout game headed towards XBLA that has most of the guys excited. They also discuss the abrupt delisting of the very popular Marble Blast Ultra. Needless to say, this news was fairly shocking to all XBLA enthusiasts and the guys share their thoughts on the sad news. News of Backbreaker Vengeance heading towards XBLA spins into a heated discussion about how important player licensing is in sports games. And a quick look at March sales figures rounds out the news section.
The past few weeks have seen a few new games that the guys finally got around to talking about. Mixed opinions are given to Yar’s Revenge while Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes seems to have looked over one minor detail that is a deal breaker for John. They also discuss the failure that is Red Faction: Battlegrounds and obviously the upcoming Section 8: Prejudice comes up as Steve has been reviewing the game.
We also discuss the news that our very own Stephen Haberman has been selected as one of three lucky gamers to be sent to cover E3 for the Kmart Gamer promotion. Congratulations to Stephen and the other two lucky gamers. More details can be found here.
