Rocketmen on XBLA this week

Capcom's cooperative shooter available on March 5 priced 800 MS Points.

Microsoft has confirmed that Capcom's Rocketmen: Axis of Evil will be released for Xbox LIVE Arcade on Wednesday March 5 at 09:00.

Players join Rocketmen Nick Sion, Alec Mink and the Alliance of Free Planets in a battle to free the solar system from the Legion of Terra.

It's essentially a 3D shooter, with some RPG elements thrown in. Players can tackle the action on their own or team up with up to three other players over Xbox LIVE or on a single console.

Look out for our thoughts on the game soon. The game's also coming to PS3, although no European release has been confirmed - next week looks likely.
