In the first in a series of three blogs we reveal the arsenal of
weaponry available in the upcoming title Alien Syndrome for the Wii and
PSP. The game includes a myriad of weapons to help you fight off the
alien hordes.

What’s the best way to kill your
enemy? Know the guns you have at your disposal to do the
job…

Type:
Projectile
Manufacturer: Kruger &
Thompson
Model:
Blastcannon

The 10 Gauge Semi-Automatic High Powered
Shotgun packs a powerful punch within short range, but also fires out
in a wide cone so it can hit multiple aliens at once. This is a good
weapon to use if there are massed enemies nearby and you need to clear
them all out at once.

Type: Explosive
Manufacturer:
BlastCorp Inc.
Model: Bomb
Launcher

The BlastCorp Ti-E Isotope Gravity Dispenser
is a demolitions weapon issued to Earth Command Forces. The bomb
launcher fires like an artillery shell that detonates when it lands,
creating a scene of devastation within the impact radius. Because of
its artillery like nature, it will not hit targets that are nearby but
it does allow you to shoot over obstacles that other weapons can’t
penetrate. The bomb launcher is very useful for clearing out entrenched
enemies that cannot be attacked with conventional
weapons.

Type: Projectile
Manufacturer: Kruger

& Thompson
Model: Chain
Gun

The Kruger & Thompson 22mm Heavy
Repeater Chaingun is a Spec-Ops-issued heavy suppression weapon. This
multi-barrelled weapon fires powerful and rapid bursts at long range,
making it a deadly weapon that can tear through hordes of aliens with
ease.  Unfortunately, it also consumes ammo very quickly, so
it must be used carefully and accurately to be effective. Additionally,
it has a charge up period before it can actually fire.

Type: Incendiary
Manufacturer:
PyroBlast Technologies
Model:
Firebolt

The PB-2 Incendiary Plasma Firebolt Gun
fires a small fireball-like projectile that can travel over a great
range and inflict moderate damage to the target. Its larger projectile
makes it easier to land a hit than thin projectile weapons like some
laser and ballistic types. The Firebolt is a good multipurpose weapon
useful in any situation.

Type: Incendiary
Manufacturer: PyroBlast Technologies
Model: Flamethrower

Spec-Ops-issue Earth Command
Forces PyroBlast Tech PB-1 Flamethrower. The flamethrower is the base
weapon of the flame weapon tree and fires a continuous stream of flame
in a cone pattern. Anything caught in the stream will take immediate
damage from the active flames and sustain damage over time as they
continue to burn. It enacts moderate damage and is useful for clearing
out enemies nearby. Note that its short range makes it unsuitable when
aliens are attacking from a distance.

Type: Incendiary
Manufacturer:
PyroBlast Technologies
Model: Flame
Geyser

The last and most powerful of the flame
weapons is the PyroBlast Tech PB-4 Incendiary Geyser. It detonates at a
medium range from the player. Spectacular gouts of flame shoot up from
the floor upon detonation, engulfing any aliens in its area and
effecting massive amounts of damage. Because of the delayed detonation,
however, it is unsuitable for close-quarter combat.
