Two XBLIG titles have managed to sneak out since our last update, both of which highlight important military fundamentals: avoiding missiles is good and being bent on world domination is also good. You know the drill soldier! All descriptions of the following games are those of the game’s respective developers and our commentary will be in bold.
Missile Escape |
|
 |
Missile Escape is simple : go flying, evade many missiles and unlock new fighters along the way ! Warning : Fighter pilot spirit required.
Developer: Maximinus Price: 80 Microsoft Points Interesting little game, has a wrap around world like classic Asteroid which sort of throws your brain for a loop. The controls also feel a little strange, probably because of conditioning from games like Geometry wars that give you crazy mobility. All said and done, I wasn’t overly impressed with the demo. |
World War Toon |
|
 |
Inspired by board games of old, World War Toon is a re-imagining for the digital era. This quick-paced turn-based strategy game is simple to play, but difficult to master. Use the abilities of infantry, tank, and rocket launcher units to your advantage as you conquer the world. Featuring random maps every game, no two games are ever the same.
Developer: JeBuS Price: 240 Microsoft Points Risk style turn based world domination game. The demo was fairly amusing, so it may be worth checking out if world domination is your thing. Personally, it just sounds like a job with no opportunity for advancement. |
