MolotovCupcake writes - "Travel back to childhood with me as you revisit those little green army men you used to play with. Didn’t have any? Maybe your brother, sister, or one of your friends had some. And they would probably play all sorts of convoluted “army games” with them, wouldn’t they? Anywhere could become a battlefield as long as they had some of the quintessential plastic soldiers. The idea has spawned many a movie, cartoon, and video game. And not too long ago, the concept arrived on the Xbox Live Arcade in the form of Toy Soldiers. Fast forward to summer 2011, and we’ve been graced with Toy Soldiers: Cold War, the sequel to the brilliantly intuitive Toy Soldiers. Best described as an RTS meets FPS meets childhood, it’s a battle royale between toy soldiers, Howitzers, tanks, and…bug spray?"

Join Australian Microsoft Xbox MVP Mark along with Kaedin and Daniel as they discuss everything about the World of Tanks franchise and recent release of the Xbox 360 Edition. They have an Xclusive Interview from E3 2013 with Denny Thorley – General Manager at WarGaming.net. They discuss what game they have been playing as well as the latest News, Game Releases, Updates and more. AND give away 3 Months Xbox Live Gold.
Not to fret, Xbox 360 owners. Yes, those of us fortunate enough to own an Xbox One may be spending the weekend with giant robots in the Titanfall beta since it opened to everyone - but there's new free stuff for those of us on the older console too - it's like Christmas in February!
I think it's the first game I've got on Gold where I've actually got some enjoyment out of it. Continue to give us more mainstream games like Dead Island, please Microsoft!
Currently i have been playing Outlast, Don't Starve, Borderlands 2, Metro: Last Light, BioShock Infinite, Modnation Racers, Guacamelee, Sonic Transformed, Soul Sacrifice all for £40 a year!!!
You Xbox guys get Toy Soldiers? what gives???
IGC is nearly 4 years old now... GwG is 8 months... that'd be part of the reason.
it's a relatively new offering by MS, while Sony's took a while to be established.
IGC is great now but when it started it was poor... GwG will eventually start bringing X1 games with it and hopefully as the time passes it'll get better to a point where it's level standing with PS+
i just dont see Microsoft being as generous as Sony when it comes to free games. they choose money over pleasing the Xbox community.
Except it's not 4yrs old and closer to 3 1/2.
Also MS has been charging people "membership" money for years in advance and to tens of millions at that, no reason for them to be lagging behind what another service offered from the start of membership.
PS plus continues to bring out newer and higher quality games and over 3 systems now. Why can't MS keep up other than that they don't want to... and they just want to see how long they can keep the charade going.
PS plus started with exclusives for the IGC, games PS fans loved for the most part and within the first year was offering newer third party games while continuing with exclusives. 8 months in with more money to offer and MS GwG still has less games, lower quality games, very few quality exclusives and no sign of anything coming to X1 anytime soon.
Lets not forget either that whenever you sign up for PS+ you start with a Isntant Game Collection that maintains a general number of games and offerings which are rotated out weekly except some exclusives which switch out around e3 with a bunch more exclusives.
@ oschino that'd be why i used nearly 4 years... in 4 months it's 4 years
yeah MS has been charging money but the service provide by MS has been considerably better...PSN goes down for a number of hours when it's being serviced (yes i know there is a way around it by logging in before a certain time) but XBL hasn't had that kinda downtime before
yeah PS+ brings newer games out these days but that's almost 4 years since it initiated... it's first 4 games were wipeout, critter crunch, mushroom wars and zen pinball over a 4 month period (was 1 a month to begin with) (only wipeout was exclusive by the way)
depending on your own personal preference "high quality" and newer third party games started coming over a year and a half later on PS+
no-one is denying that IGC is the considerably better offer right now (unless they are completely deluded) but if you compare IGC's first year with GwG's first year, GwG could arguably be better (depending on gaming preferences)
