Review: Bang Bang Racing (XBLA)

June 14, 2012

Bang Bang Racing/XBLA/Xbox 360/Xbox Live Arcade

Top down racers are a bit of a rarity these days, and top down racers that are actually good? Perish the thought. Remember Micro Machines? Those little toy cars were seemingly everywhere years ago (much like their fast talkin’ spokesman) and I can’t help but think about them in a…

It’s another quality week for Nintendo’s download service as the eShop plays host to superheroes, outlaws, and a classic ape. I almost feel spoiled by the last two weeks of demos on the 3DS. Last week, if you’ll recall, LEGO Batman 2 landed on the service (and was great). This…

Babel Rising headlines this very slow week on XBLA as the doldrums of Summer loom large. Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade promotion is a long ways off for Live users. The service hasn’t really seen a meaty update in a few weeks and things are lookin’ a tad sparse. SoA is…

Autumn Dynasty/iPad/Reviews/RTS/Strategy

One of the genres I have always assumed that the iPad would excel at is the real time strategy. The large touch screen is a natural fit for the genre, and should make manipulating units and controlling the ebb and flow feel natural, much like pouring over a real battle…
