Lost Planet was released back in 2007 and I picked up the title as it was getting great accolades from the friends and various media outlets.

Instead, we all raced to 1400 points. The contest ...

The day started with the showing of the 1 VS 100 official trailer, followed by a speech by Glenn Purkis, from Xbox Canada and Jo Clowes, Director of Development. They briefly explained what we were going to see in today’s previ...

Teh Good:
Cruising around town causing havoc and crashes, how isn’t that fun
Free updates, man Criterion really does support their game
Online play is seamless and adds another layer to this game
Teh Bad:
More Variety in race modes
Why is Avril Lavigne in this sound track? Like seriously!
I would prefer is the game didn’t take forever to start up at the beginning. I do not need to go my junk yard and see all the new cars at the start-up of the game. It’s quite annoying.
For $20...
