Sierra Online Celebrates Launch with Sweepstakes on Official Site
Sierra Online, a division of Vivendi Games, has released Assault Heroes, the first of several Xbox Live Arcade titles scheduled to be released from the company. Developed by Wanako Studios specifically for Xbox Live Arcade, Assault Heroes puts players in the role of the only surviving member of an elite special-forces unit searching for a secret underground laboratory. Whether in a heavily armed 4X4, a maneuverable speedboat or on foot, players must blast their way through enemy-infested territory while being assaulted by waves of formidable enemies with unrelenting attacks.
To kick-off the release of the title, Sierra Online has launched a web site complete with mission, vehicle and weapon briefings as well as information on current and future Assault Heroes downloads available at Xbox Live Marketplace. A sweepstakes with a grand prize of 100,000 Microsoft Points is currently running on the site at www.assaultheroesgame.com <http://www.assaultheroesgame.com>.
