XBLA in Brief: Yar's Revenge

This week on XBLA in Brief, we take a look at the reboot of the Atari 2600 title, Yar's Revenge. Suffice it to say that Yar's Revenge has less to do with the original and much more to do with games like Panzer Dragoon and Sin & Punishment. In other words, it's a brightly colored, anime-inspired, on-rails shooter.

Lock your cursor on the "continued" button and guide yourself past the break to watch the latest episode and see if Yar's Revenge is for you. Also, for those of you looking for Clash of Heroes HD, rest easy. We'll have a full review soon.
