The Xbox 360 may be a nearly 10 year old console, but developers are still making games for it. The latest example is Guncraft: Blocked and Loaded, a console version of the PC sandbox shooting game that will be released for Microsoft's console on July 14.
Guncraft was originally developed by Exato Game Studios, and the Xbox 360 version was made by GameMill Entertainment. Here's a quick summary of the game, which could also be labeled as "Minecraft with guns":
"Marrying the addictive nature of block building sandbox games with the speed and competition of modern first-person shooters, Guncraft takes voxel-based gaming to a whole new level. Play through dozens of maps, then create your own level with secret tunnels and hiding holes to find the best look out for ambushing your friends. Players can create arenas based on anything imaginable, and once complete, utterly destroy them with bullets, bombs, grenades, tanks, helicopters and even laser swords. In the heat of battle, soldiers can create custom blockades and fortresses instantaneously."
Here's what the Xbox 360 version of Guncraft: Blocked and Loaded will include:
- Exclusive Xbox Live maps
