Has anyone checked it out yet, Toy Soldiers on XBLA? I may be a little biased but it's a hell of a bang for your buck. It blows the other XBLA games out of the water. Here's a video if you're not familiar with the game:

I'll probably be checking it out tonight. Didn't have a chance last night.

Looks pretty good. Is it just me, though, or does it seem kind of... blurry? Almost like they've overdone their bloom effect or something...

I'm pretty sure a lot of that is just how it looks on a PC monitor. On a tv screen it looks a lot less blurry. If you've ever taken screen shots from an xbox you'll know what i'm talking about. I think it's just a lot brighter on a TV.

That being said there's definitely a lot of bloom going on there, and depth of field to enhance the feel that the game takes place in a diorama.

I'm planning on picking it up, both to support Max and because it looks awesome. But first I have to hook my 360 back up.

Same here, my projector lamp went out about 6 months ago and i haven't really played Xbox since then. I'll need to renew my subscription and get a $200 lamp before i can play. :/

I like it. At first I didn't really care for it because the tutorial was a bit weak and I didn't really like the in-world UI (upgrade clocks, etc) but it's starting to grow on me.

The plane controls feel a bit touchy, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Some other things aren't explained, like the zeppelin that I could shoot down on the opposite side from the sniper tower, but shooting it a lot got me some money and made it explode so it couldn't have been a bad thing.

What's up Josh, long time no see - hope you enjoy the game!

Picked it up a few hours ago, love it. Shell cam is awesome.
