PSX Extreme writes: "Thanks to THQ's Gamers Day event this past week, we've been able to acquire plenty of new information and details concerning their scheduled next-gen titles, and Baja is one of them. April may be the month of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, but there are plenty more racers on the way, and we're seeing a definite resurgence of the off-road racing sub-genre. Sega Rally Revo and DiRT are already big titles, MotorStorm 2 should hit this year, and even the Rally events in GT are getting more and more attention as time goes on. Remember the arcade smash hit, Off-Road? Yeah, well, we've come a long way since then, and with Baja, you'll guide some of the most diverse and capable vehicles on earth through some of the most challenging events. We guarantee there's something here for just about every racing fan, from massive monster trucks to speedy little buggies. Can THQ and 2XL Games step into the spotlight and deliver a winner amidst the extraordinarily competitive world of video game racing?"
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.
