MarketTantrik Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Microsoft Innovation: Facebook and XBLA games linked Play A Facebook Game To Help The War Effort On Your Xbox 360, Or Vice Versa You play a game on Facebook. I'll play one on Xbox 360. Our winnings will contribute to the same side of a virtual reenactment of World War I. Behold, the first Facebook-360 gaming link, launching this week. More are coming. Those 11,000 Facebook users are playing Match Defense: Toy Soldiers, a Microsoft Games Studios game quietly launched a couple of weeks ago (you can grab it on Facebook). The game will link to Toy Soldiers (pictured up top), an Xbox Live Arcade game launching Wednesday. This pair of World War I games establishes what may be the first connection ever between a Facebook game and a console game. Players of either game are contributors to a massive virtual war effort, the game's Microsoft producer Justin Robey explained to Kotaku today. Those who play the Facebook game can choose a side for the war — Central forces or Allied — and contribute their score totals for every three rounds of the game they play to their side of the war. Players of the Xbox 360 game, whether competing in solo missions or against friends in multiplayer, will also contribute points to their respective side. All those points will determine which countries the competing forces take. ____________________________________________________ I spent the past hour playing the Facebook version. Its fricking addictive !!! --MT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
