More and more we are seeing Xbox 360 and PS3 downloadable games getting ported over to the PC. The latest example that was announced today is Toy Soldiers, the Xbox Live Arcade-based strategy game that lets players control virtual versions of WWI war figurines and units in 24 campaign missions or via multiplayer modes.

The developer of the game Signal Studios announced that the PC port would be released sometime in the "late spring/early summer 2011" time period. No other details were announced concerning the PC port. Meanwhile the same studio is already working on a sequel, Toy Soldiers Cold War, that will be released for the Xbox Live Arcade service later this year.

This music video, written and produced by the F.E.A.R. 2 development team at Monolith, celebrates the release of the Toy Soldiers multiplayer map pack. It showcases the unique levels that can be found in the map pack, which shrinks players down to miniature sizes, and gives a nice tune to sing along to.

The Toy Soldiers Map Pack for F.E.A.R. 2 multiplayer is available for PC players for free. In it, players are shrunken down to the micro sizes so everything in the world looks gigantic. More maps will be released in the summer.

The F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin "Toy Soldiers" map pack allows players to experience multiplayer from a terrifying new perspective as they are reduced in size to be only inches tall and battle inside a pinball machine, a gruesome hospital lab room, and a playground sandbox.

• FullTilt: Players battle inside a retro 1970s era pinball machine "Snake Fist" style as they use flippers, targets, spinners and pop-bumpers for cover in fast paced action. The multi-level playfield and authentic sounds set the mood for destruction.
• Cockroach: Featuring a blood drenched hospital room filled with heart pounding action, players can climb up electrical cords, laboratory equipment and pill bottles in a tightly connected environment.
• Recess: Players wage mayhem from the top of a giant sandcastle to the cockpit of a toy bulldozer.
