The old-school gamers amongst you will no doubt appreciate the fact that today Konami has unleashed Rush’N Attack: Ex-Patriot via Xbox LIVE Arcade.

Here’s the official description:
The game is a modern take on the classic 80s “run’n’gun” arcade game, with the player guiding a CIA operative code- named Wolf Spider  through a heavily-guarded Russian prison camp as he attempts to rescue an agent who was abandoned at the close of the Cold War. As players explore the multi-directional-scrolling environment, they can sneak in and out of cells, use stealth to take out guards, and use a series of weapons that they find to protect themselves. KONAMI has also released a number of screens illustrating key moves from the new game, including the main character’s sliding ground attack, stealth execution move, and taking on multiple adversaries.

Rush’N Attack: Ex-Patriot will run your 800 Microsoft Points and will also be released for the PS3 via PSN in April.
