Men of Valor assaults Xbox

The latest in a recent fusillade of Vietnam-themed shooters was lobbed onto the retail battlefield today. VU Games announced that it has shipped the Xbox version of Men of Valor, its first-person shooter set in the deadly jungles of Southeast Asia in the late 1960s. Rated "M" for Mature, the game will cost $49.99. A $39.99 PC version is due next week.

Developed by 2015, the award-winning studio behind Medal of Honor Allied Assault, Men of Valor lets players perform various search-and-destroy missions, and players can even get swept up in major conflicts during the war, such as the Tet Offensive. In addition, players will be accompanied by a group of non-player characters who will provide support during missions.
