The Xbox Live Arcade title for this week is Assault Heroes from Sierra. In this game players "take on the role of the only surviving member of an elite special forces unit searching for a secret underground lab". Features of this title include:

- Multiplayer co-op mode: Two players may play co-operatively online via Xbox Live or offline (same screen) with enhanced weapons and special attacks to encourage team-based campaigns.
- Dynamic gameplay: Operate an armed 4x4, speed boat, or simply fight on foot for a quick change of pace.
- Arsenal of weapons: Equip characters with miniguns, flak cannons, flamethrowers, grenades, and nukes to destroy everything in your path.
- Realistic special effects: Destructible terrain and advanced physics engine provide a truly engaging Arcade experience.
- Highly detailed graphics: Vehicles leave tracks in the sand, send parts flying when they explode, and leave smoke trails when taking damage.
- Action-packed experience: Challenging and graphically compelling levels (including bonus sublevels) for fast-paced and addictive play
