Small Arms for Xbox Live Arcade dated

Gastronaut Studios' beat-'em-up with shooting, Small Arms, will be available on Xbox Live Arcade from November 22.

Small Arms is a blend of beat-'em-up and shoot-'em-up which sees up to four players duking it out across a selection of eight levels. The game features a roster of 12 playable characters, each with its own weapon, and support for online and offline fights.

Small Arms will cost 800 Microsoft Points and as always will also be offered in demo form. For your points you'll also get 12 new achievements to work towards, including one designed to test out Xbox Live's web of social networking.

Small Arms certainly looks like one of the more interesting original titles to appear on Xbox Live Arcade and is well worth checking out.
