Small Arms hits XBLA

As promised yesterday, Gastronaut Studios' Small Arms is now up and about on Xbox Live Arcade for the price of 800 Microsoft points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.30).

It's half shooter, half Smash Brothers by the looks of it, and as an original title it's a welcome bit of flavour after the recent diet of stale arcade conversions.

As you'd expect, there's a trial version to help you work out whether you like it, and if you do take the plunge there's the usual array of leaderboards, achievements (12, for a total of 200 gamerpoints) and multiplayer modes to tackle.

Look out for our review of Small Arms in the coming days.
