The original games just keep coming, first we had Small Arms and Roboblitz, and last week it was Assault Heroes‘ turn. Another original game is scheduled for tomorrow and its name is Novadrome, a combat driving game created by Stainless Software, the guys behind Carmageddon.

This game with original content will set you back the usual 800 MS Points and in return you’ll get a piece of software that’ll allow you to race a car in both single and multiplayer arenas. The whole idea of this game is that you prevent a full-scale invasion of the Earth by defeating robot gladiators and other villains in a series of combat-driving competitions. Since you’re abducted by a bunch of robos from Nova yourself, these races don’t take place on earth.

In “Novadrome,” gamers blast, smash and crash their way to victory as they fight for survival among friends and foes alike in one of the 15 detailed 3-D arenas. Abducted by robots from the planet Nova, the players must stop their captors before they launch a full-scale invasion against Earth. Gamers will need to use their speed, wit and determination to defeat robot gladiators and other abductees in a series of combat-driving competitions in high-powered armored vehicles equipped with front-mounted automatic weapons. “Novadrome” also provides gamers with a frantic multiplayer mode for up to eight players via Xbox Live

Features:
• Frantic eight-player combat driving action set in a far-out alien world
• More than 20 off-road-buggy-style combat vehicles
• Fifteen arenas full of non-stop, furious action. Combat arenas feature upgrades, power-ups, obstacles and mines.
• A wide range of dynamic vehicle-mounted weapons. Players can destroy their enemies and acquire their weapons as power-ups.
• Adrenaline-pumping boss encounters. Humans in vehicles battle a variety of gladiatorial robot opponents.
• Multiple gameplay modes and event types to choose from. Modes are Career, Arcade Challenge, Free Play, and Multiplayer.
• Top of the class. Gamers can experiment with the various modes and master their gameplay to top the online “Novadrome” leaderboards.
• Twelve achievements. Players can increase their gamerscore by 200 points with 12 diverse achievements.

The game will be unleashed on the Xbox Live Marketplace tomorrow at 9.00 a.m. GMT+1.
