It’s Wednesday and, as has been customary, Microsoft has released a new title for its Xbox Live Arcade service. Today sees the release of Heavy Weapon: Atomic Tank, a side scrolling, high octane shoot’em-up from PopCap Games.

Heavy Weapon features 19 missions, each packed to the brim with enemies hell-bent on destroying you and your atomic tank. In addition to the game’s standard arcade mode, there’s also Boss Rush mode (take on each of the game’s bosses in succession), and Survival, where the player has to outlast ever-increasing waves of enemies.

Outside of the single-player modes, there’s also some intense multiplayer action to be had where up to four-players (online or on the same Xbox 360) can take part in Survival and co-op game modes.

You’ll also get the usual online leaderboards, high definition visuals and Achievement points to unlock.

Heavy Weapon: Atomic Tank will cost you 800 Microsoft Points and is available right now. Look out for a review soon.
