Uber Entertainment has revealed a new contender for the Xbox Live Arcade's growing shooter library - Monday Night Combat.

Set in a futuristic combat sport, Monday Night Combat is a class based 3rd person shooter with a cartoony aesthetic. Choose between the Assault, Tank, Support, Sniper, Gunner or Assassin classes and hook up with a bunch of friends online to blow up Robots.

The game supports two modes: Blitz - where you must defend your Money Ball from hordes of Robots with up to 3 friends, similar to that of Gears of War's Horde mode, and Crossfire - where you fight against an opposing team and opposing robots for supremacy.

While it certainly has taken a piece here and there from several other multiplayer titles out there at the moment, it certainly looks unique enough to stand out from the crowds. The Blitz mode itself seems to be the main draw, something that has yet to be made as a standalong XBLA title.

The game is set for a 2010 release, so expect to see more in the coming months.
