Throw your hands in the air party people! Welcome to March, which is coming in like a lion on Xbox Live as Microsoft kicks off their "Block Party" promotion on the Live Arcade. First out of the gate is the cartoony fun of Toy Soldiers. A combination of the strategy genre and your baby brother's toy box, Toy Soldiers minitaruizes the RTS to child-size, challenging gamers to take a handful of vintage toys to teeny tiny versions of the European trenches of the Great War. For 1200 it can be yours.

Put your foot soldiers, snipers, cavalry, and fighter pilots to the test in Toy Soldiers. Poised to be a smash hit on Xbox LIVE® Arcade, Toy Soldiers is an action-packed strategy-based game in which players command antique WWI toy soldiers vying for control of the trench-filled battlefields of Europe. Deploy an exciting arsenal such as tanks, cavalry, biplanes, and flamethrowers in vintage WWI toy dioramas. Developed by Signal Studios exclusively for Xbox 360, Toy Soldiers allows you to take control of individual units or control the entire battlefield from a strategic view. Integrating multiple game genres and world-class visuals, Toy Soldiers is a unique and action-packed entertainment experience!

• Toy battles: Experience epic action-packed battles with more than 50 unique units across two distinct armies, across five unique maps with their own special characteristics and multiplayer options.
• Easy-to-pick-up controls: Soldiers can fight on their own, or be controlled from a third-person mode.
• An arsenal of weapons: Fly planes, zeppelins, and even drive tanks to help your unit succeed in protecting its base.
• Multiplayer: Split screen allows you to easily fight in head-to-head battles with friends over Xbox LIVE, or on the same console.
• Miniaturized mayhem: Unique game visuals and post-effects capture the imagination and provide real world historical events in a playful toy-like miniature world.

The deal of the week this week throws a discount to Gears of War fans who also like to dress up their Avatars. The CoG armor, which normally retails for 320 can be yours for 240 for the duration of the week. Enjoy!
