X-Men: Destiny (Xbox 360) $19.99 The X-Men may protect a world that hates and fears them, but in X-Men Destiny things are taken to a whole new level. Not only that, but it's up to players to really find their own way to deal with the situation. X-Men Destiny takes place in a parallel timeline in which Charles Xavier is dead and Cyclops and the X-Men are struggling to keep the peace, even as Magneto and the Brotherhood try to push things over the edge. When a peace rally is attacked by an unknown assailant things hit boiling point and San Francisco erupts into violence. Rather than taking on the role of an existing X-Man to deal with it, though, players will build up a brand new character. Choosing one of three templates, players will be able to pick their own power-set and develop it over the course of the game. They'll be able to choose between rock-fisted strength, ranged energy blasts and fast-moving melee abilities. Beyond that, there are special powers to be picked up across the course of the game. That's not the end of the choices you have to make, though. You also have to choose between siding with the X-Men, sharing the screen with iconic heroes, and helping the Brotherhood, fighting alongside notorious villains. With an RPG-style storyline, there's plenty for fans of the comics to sink their teeth into. |

Dragon Age Origins (Xbox 360) $9.99 Bioware – of Mass Effect and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic fame – brings us what its CEO calls the “spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate”. Now, if you're new to gaming that won't mean a vast amount to you. What will mean something is that Baldur's Gate is a near legendary Role-Playing Game (RPG), and that Dragon Age Origins – albeit a single-player game – sets out to bring as many hours of in-depth action as its ancestor. Your role is to save the world. However, unlike in other games of the world-saving type, you don't have to choose to be good in order to achieve this. No one's told you what to do with the world once you've saved it, so you could, by choosing to play as an evil character save it just for yourself. Not that you have to be evil throughout the game. Whether you choose to be a rogue, the warrior or the mage, you can make different choices as you move through the game world. These will effect the way in which the game itself plays out. In the Baldur's Gate mould, you also get to control non-playing characters (NPCs), ordering them to do your bidding, carry out specific actions and generally support your cause. Be aware, though, that once the player has embarked on the full game by entering the world from one of six introductory tales, they will experience adult themes. This is not a kids game of dungeons and dragons, faeries and elven folk. |

Dragon Age Origins: Awakening (Xbox 360) $9.99 Had your fill of Dragon Age: Origins? Looking for a new experience to tackle and have already completed the downloadable content? Then Dragon Age Origins: Awakening is just the sort of expansion that's right up your street, offering a new area of the world to explore called Amaranthine. Following the events that take place in the main game, you assume the role of a Grey Warden Commander who is tasked with rebuilding the order of Grey Wardens. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, not really. The land is regularly attacked by darkspawn, despite the slaying of the Archdemon dragon. A bit frustrating. So not only have you got to 'get the band back together,' you've also got to uncover the mystery as to why these creatures are still running amok. Among these fearsome enemies is a new breed that is more intelligent than the others, requiring fresh strategy to defeat. You'll also get to do battle with other monsters such as the Inferno Golem and Spectral Dragon – and they're about as nasty as they sound too. But not all hope is lost. Dragon Age Origins: Awakening also adds new ways to customise your characters and equipment, allowing you to further enhance yourself beyond that which can be achieved in the original Origins game. Increased level caps, new skills and spells and five new members for your party are just some of the additions that will give you an even chance against this new threat. |

Toy Soldiers Review - Your Childhood Living Room Floor Battles Come to Life
Despite its marketing campaign that said nothing about either towers or defense, Toy Soldiers is, in essence, another Tower Defense game. Reminiscent of the mixed reception of the Army Men games, Toy Soldiers uses plastic, exaggerated soldiers that literally explode into little pieces of plastic when they die. Added to this is the surreal atmosphere of a realistic landscape juxtaposed with familiar household items like table lamps and carpet. If you enjoy the Flash Tower Defense games and need to kill a bit of time on the weekend, consider giving Toy Soldiers a try.
Platform: Xbox 360
Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
Genre: Shooter
ESRB Rating: Teen
Release Date: 03/03/2010
Graphics: 8/10
The graphics in Toy soldiers are actually quite good for a Xbox Live Arcade game. There are really no gripes about the visual presentation. You can quickly view the entire battlefield with a bird's eye view control and the camera can be rotated 360 degrees. However, the fixed camera views seemed a little lacking at times and often hid key aspects of the battles from view. The animations of little plastic men exploding into plastic chunks can be delightful and the presentation is good enough to keep you interested.
Game Play: 7/10
It's a Tower Defense game. It would have been nice to see a little more ingenuity from such a solid premise. Perhaps it was time to remake the old Army Men games from the original Playstation. However, the game play is fairly solid. You can only choose from six individual units and this seems a little low. Unlike many tower defense type games, you have the option of taking over under-performing towers and picking off enemy soldiers yourself. In fact, on the hardest difficulty, this is your only option.
Story: 8/10
It's difficult to rate a game like this one's story. It would be a lot like trying to apply a story to Asteroids. However, we also don't want to give it a low rating simply because it is in a non-story driven genre. The battles are designed to emulate the hours you perhaps won't admit you spent lining up rows of plastic army men and slapping them around. The presentation does a great deal for the story and, thus, really doesn't require any character development or plot elements.
Music: 9/10
There really isn't much music in the game. What really shines is the sound design. You can always hear the distant sounds of battle and the gun and cannon sounds are realistic. It's also pretty cool to hear the battle cry of charging soldiers during their attack. In this case, it is difficult to say whether the addition of music would have simply detracted from the game play. It doesn't really matter. The sound design is acceptable and that's all that you can really ask for in a game of this type.
Replay Value: 9/10
If you ever played a Tower Defense game, you know very well how addictive they can be. You can expect to spend a weekend or two on this game. You will also like it as a boredom killer once in a while when you're waiting for that next big game to come out. You can play through a few times to get to the hardest difficulty levels. However, best of luck with the hardest difficulty. It really is a killer.
Overall Rating: 8/10
Pretty solid title for an Xbox Arcade game. Sure, we would have liked to see a larger unit selection and a little better handled camera. However, it's a great way to kill a few hours on a rainy afternoon. The graphics are great and recreate a bit of nostalgia for many younger gamers today. If you want some real plastic army men combat, you might want to take a look at the original Army Men series. However, if you are just looking for a fun and quick game, give Toy Soldiers a try.
