Against your better judgment, your foot is planted on the gas pedal. The roar of the engine fills your head as you work to keep your truck pointing forward on a road that probably wasn't meant for anything on four wheels. You can see the hairpin turn ahead of you, bouncing in front of your vision like a basketball, and you know you should be thinking about hitting the brakes soon. Regardless, you keep your foot down, fighting against the camber and endless undulations of the road ahead of you. At the last possible instant, you take your foot off the pedal and slam the brakes, hoping a stray bump doesn't spin your car around completely or, worse, send you careening off the edge of the cliff to your left. Welcome to THQ's Baja.
Baja Edge of Control coming digitally to Xbox One, PS4.
It’s no secret that the Xbox 360’s lifespan is coming to an end, meaning we’ve got an extensive library of games to sort through and possibly trade-in to GameStop or EBGames. Because of this, used Xbox 360 games are incredibly cheap, and a lot of people might be spending this summer adding those last few games to their collections.
Time to round up the best racing titles in a Top 10 run down.
There are games with niche followings, and then there are games that absolutely nobody played. Baja: Edge of Control is one of those games.
Lost in the skyrocketing popularity of Call of Duty and Halo, Baja: Edge of Control quietly landed on store shelves in late 2008, a month before the two major shooting franchises released their yearly variations. And it sat there. After six months, those copies were moved to the bargain bin, and eventually, GameStop. Today, over five years after release, online leaderboards struggle to show more than ten or eleven people with registered lap times at most tracks. Online itself was a ghost town since launch day. People simply didn’t buy this game.
And that’s a shame, because Baja: Edge of Control is a title that any motorsports fan shouldn’t hesitate to add to their collection.
