World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition
The Xbox 360 version of World of Tanks, simply called World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition - because ain't no one got time for fancy names and stuff when somewhere tanks remain un-blown up - has received a major content update. The update will feature new maps, American tank destroyers, tank package upgrades, eight new achievements, and perhaps most importantly, a variable weather system. That's right, now you'll be able to tank in the rain, snow, and darkness.
I didn't realize "darkness" counted as weather, but whatever.
