    GT Racing Motor Academy Review

    By

    Racing games can be a great deal of fun namely because their recipe is often simple: quality controls, fast-pacing, fun tracks, and maybe a unique gimmick or two. Gameloft's Google+ titleGT Racing Motor Academy fails on all of these fronts. Giving players virtually nothing to sate their racing appetite and taking the free-to-play model a bit too far, the grinding nature of the game wears thin quickly. Coupled with awful controls, horrendous sound design, minimal style, and zero real challenge, it feels like a slapped together title made only for a quick buck.

    Speed Blazers Review

    Within a few minutes of playing Speed Blazers, it's obvious that the developer Fraktalvoid made a mistake that's all too common within the game industry: It created a trailer that was a lot better than the game itself. That's a shame, because this new racing platformer isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, but it's not nearly as polished as the movie would've had us believe.

    BMW xDrive Challenge Review

    It's not uncommon for non-game developers to create games for Facebook in order to promote something, and BMW is the latest to take to this endeavor with BMW xDrive Challenge. A 3D racing title built in Unity, it's not the most extravagant game, but is still of a surprising level of quality for a Facebook racer. Complete with global and friend-based challenges, it's not a game that will keep one's attention for long, but can be entertaining in the short term. In fact, the only real issue is a few oversensitive controls.

    Derby Days Review

    By

    There are plenty of social games that ask you to take care of animals. Sometimes it's as part of a farm, sometimes they're simply pets for you to raise. But most of the time you're not really raising them for any particular reason; there's usually not much of an end goal in mind. And that's part of what makes Derby Days stand out. While much of the gameplay mechanics will be familiar, the process of turning a fledgling racehorse into a champion is very satisfying.

    If you're like me, you probably spend a lot of time on Twitter. Aside from mundane things — like when we announce we've arrived at a restaurant or club — we also tweet about all the goofy/crazy stuff we see. But what happens when our tweets become part of a game's world? The upcoming racing title Tweet Land is going to show the results, and they look delightfully crazy.

    Are you a racing game fan? Then stop what you're doing and watch the trailer below. It's OK if your jaw has dropped; mine did too. This is trailer for Speed Blazers, which looks like it may very well be the craziest platform racer to hit mobile platforms yet.

    Smash Cops Review

    By

    When it comes to personal entertainment, there's one stone cold fact that film and television producers have relied on for years: everybody loves a car chase. It's what made The French Connection so great. And The Italian Job. And Bullitt. And in more recent years, any local news station with a traffic copter. Smash Cops is a game that takes a page right out of the playbook of that last example, putting players in control of an officer behind the wheel and in hot pursuit.

    Woody Woodpecker Review

    Tiny Wings was a certifiable hit. A nice and simple swoop and glide mechanic with controls boiled down to a single touch made it easy for anyone to pick up and enjoy. There's nothing quite like the feeling of that perfect dive-bomb, skimming the Earth and then sailing above the clouds in a beautiful arc. But simple and addicting iOS games means inevitable heir apparent, trying to capture lightning in a bottle for the 2nd (or 3rd or 10th) time. Can Woody Woodpecker do it?
