Did a quick Google search, but only found a few passing references to the XBox 360 version.
Fan of class-based shooters like Team Fortress 2? Fan of tower defense games? Then I suggest you give Monday Night Combat a try.
Monday Night Combat is a class-based third person shooter with tower defense elements made and published by up and coming game studio Uber Entertainment. It is available for both the XBox 360 and PC (via the 360's online store and Steam, respectively). In the near future, the world is an overpopulated mess. The worst of consumerism is at the forefront and the world is ruled by a single president who has the power to rig the elections. But really, you don't need to know any of that. You are a clone, genetically tailored for the rigors of Monday Night Combat, the most popular and most lethal spectator sport on the planet. If you die, no biggie, they just build you a new body and pour your brain (or what is left of it) into it. There are two teams, the Hotshots and the Icemen, of up to 6 players each. The playing field contains two spawn points, a number of turret nubs, and two floating spheres known as Money Balls. The object of the game is to destroy your opponent's Money Ball while keeping your team's safe. Money Balls...you know what, I'll just let Monday Night Combat announcer Mickey Cantor explain it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJrg1qc09UU).
It's a lot like Team Fortress 2, what with team based combat, similar caricature stylings, and 6 different classes each with their own fleshed-out personality. However, Monday Night Combat feels a lot more hectic. Basically everything you enjoy about TF2 stripped down to its bare minimum. I don't know how to better describe it than that. It is in your best interest to try it out. It is currently only $15 on Steam, and as with everything else on Steam, there will eventually be a sale where you can get it even cheaper.
