W40K: Kill Team – The first 10 minutes walked through

Kill Team, the Warhammer 40K precursor to September’s Space Marine, released today on XBLA at 800 Microsoft Points. You’ll find narrated HD video of the opening sections below, showing a twin-stick shooter low on brains and heavy on fun. Look to buy it. I did.

Note: The co-op in Kill Team is local-only. There’s no online play in it. Just so you know. Thanks, Tech-N9ne.

Just bought this to play with a friend only to realize its just LOCAL CO-OP. I mean serious in this day and age NO online. I feel kinda cheated I guess i should read the detail more carefully.

Oh well!

Nice one looks like fun.
Dead nation was my first twin stick believe it or not and it was good fun so I might check this one out.

And lets not forget THQ making ALL the staff there redundant

@10 – Nope, not that I’m aware of. It was announced for PSN as well, but I don’t think they gave it a release date. I can ask?

It’s not bad, but you can’t go too far wrong with a twin stick shooter. Also the lack of online co-op is a serious mistake, I mean… Why?
