Toy Soldiers Giveaway

With the release of Toy Soldiers today I thought you all might like to win a copy.  Signal Studios and Microsoft were kind enough to give us three copies. Since I already purchased a copy I'm putting all three up for grabs.

This is a nicely done two stick shooter. The variety of game modes is really nice. The game has a nice look and feel to it. They try to offset not having achievements with in game awards which is a nice touch.

Twin stick shooters are ten a penny now on XBLIG, three months ago I was extremely poor at Geometry Wars and had never even played the sequel. So I had a touch of the fear when the Geometry Wars inspired Echoes+ was up for review, has my months of training on various twin stick shooters paid off? There’s only one way to find out.

Echoes+ is Geometry Wars inspired but it also takes some from the classic Asteroids game, shooting large asteroids which break into smaller chunks which must be shot again until there is nothing left. That would be too easy though thanks to the twin stick controls and easily manoeuvrable space ship used in Echoes+, waves have been introduced in which a new enemy type is added each time. Instead of lives you have an energy bar which is depleted when you collide with an enemy.
