What makes Toy Soldiers (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8025841099e) a bit more common, however, is its "tower defense" brand of gameplay, pitting toys against toys in base defending action in single-player and two-player online versus modes. Swinging back to uncommon territory is the ability to control individual units, including snipers, mounted gunners and biplanes.
The Signal Studios-developed Xbox Live Arcade game is 1200 Microsoft Points worth of fun.
If you'd prefer to spend less on far more trifling Xbox 360 content, Gears of War Avatar dress-up outfits are cheaper this week, giving you COG armor and helmets for 80 Microsoft Points less than you'd usually spend.
