“As your Commando Action Figure freedoms his way through fifty troops with a machine gun and bazooka at the same time, you’ll be hard-pressed to wipe the smile off of your face.” – IGN Read the full review.

“You get a formidable arsenal of toys to play with for your 1200 Microsoft points, and you won’t want to put them away until long after you’ve ensured victory for the US.” – GameSpot Read the full review.

“Toy Soldiers: Cold War is truly fantastic and if you even remotely enjoyed the previous title from Signal Studios then you need to check this out.” – Gamergeddon Read the full review.

“Toy Soldiers: Cold War is by far my most favorite XBLA title of the summer and of the year.” – VGRevolution Read the full review.

Finally, this from our friends at Kotaku:

“The Cold War—a war of cheesy movies, ridiculous potential world-ending brinksmanship and, oh yeah, the meddling in the affairs of most of the nations on this earth—deserves an absurd video game. It gets one in the surprisingly sharp and very fun new downloadable Xbox 360 game Toy Soldiers: Cold War.” Watch the video.

Thanks for all the kind words, folks. We worked hard on this game and it’s great to see people loving it as much as we do! Remember, Toy Soldiers: Cold War will be available Wednesday, August 17th for 1200 MS Points.

See you online!
