Earth Defense Force 2017 (Xbox 360)

EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 2017 Earth Defense Force 2017 is a third person action shooter game that has some huge bugs and some nasty robots out for your blood. Earth Defense Force 2017 is the first game in what could be a great series because a follow up game was released recently entitled Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon. The game is exclusive to the Xbox 360 and isn't available on any other console.

Earth Defence Force 2017.... These Fellas Are The Scourge Og Giant Bugs.... We've come to expect a lot from our next-gen shooters in these times; swanky cover mechanics (gears of war), gigantic bosses (lost planet), slow-mo massacring (strangehold) and even sexy witches (bullet witch).
