Rocket science is widely accepted to be not easy, and Capcom seems to have hit upon that fact with Rocketmen: Axis of Evil. Though A.C.R.O.N.Y.M.'s downloadable title was initially slated to arrive during the latter part of 2007, it didn't in fact blast off on Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network until March.

　　Fuel tanks thus in working order, Capcom is wasting no time on the first expansion for Rocketmen. The publisher said today that Rocketmen: It Came From Uranus will be available for download over XBL on May 14, with the PSN version clocking in a day later. Gamers can pick up the expansion for $4.95 (400 Microsoft points), and the original Rocketmen is required for playing the add-on.

　　According to Capcom, It Came From Uranus adds three new levels, where players must first escape a mine on Saturn, then blast their way through Saturn's rings, and finally negotiate with the Saturnian leader to join a space alliance. The add-on also offers a trio of new primary weapons and a pair of secondary weapons.
