Default World of Tanks.

I'm playing this loads on Xbox live ATM.

I thought it would be crap but it's seriously great fun.



Hours can fly by.

On PC it is 100% free to play but with Xbox you need to be a gold member.

It's a sort of 'arcady' tank game with some sim elements.

It's simple to play - but is quite deep - with lots of nuances regarding tactics and strategy 'cos all the tanks are different.

Played the Beta on the Xbox but couldn't really get used to the control system,I do prefer the PC version.
The team that did the conversion did do a damn good job though and the best thing is that games will only last a max of 15mins (one game type is only 10 mins though).

I do find though that when you get Tier X games the amount of poor players or players who don't use teamwork very frustrating.

Cromwell is possibly my fave tank,it's a Jack of all trades.

When I'm at home I'll pop up the list of my vehicles

I do love the that line of US TDs (T40,M10,M36 all in my garage...may have to rebuy the M18)

Depending on the MM the M10 and M36 can serioulsy ruin the enemies day

Maybe a bit sad but I have FRAPS which I use to convert the replays into proper MPEGs (or whatever file I choose)...always good to relieve good moments

I just played a game where a Wolverine got 1400 points.

I chose the British tank destroyers. Currently rocking an Alecto with a 3.7 inch Howitzer. It has paper thin armour but packs a punch. I tend to snipe from the back of the map with it.

They are nails. I don't think anything I have has put a dent in one yet, except maybe the 3.7 inch Howitzer with plunging fire.

Those AT-2's are nails to.
