Gamespot writes: "Earlier today, during a meeting with THQ and 2XL Games, we had an opportunity to test-drive a near finished Xbox 360 version of Baja. Currently scheduled for release sometime in August, 2XL Games' first offering will fittingly be a sizeable one, boasting over 95 tracks set within 25 square miles of mountainous desert terrain. Plenty of equally impressive numbers will be scattered throughout this story, but what you really want to know is if Baja is fun, right? It is."
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.
I love driving games, and this looks like it's shaping up to be something worthy of at least a rental.
I'm so impossibly addicted to GT5p though, so....yeah.
I played DiRT again the other day, and I must say that I really had forgotten how much I liked that game.
I don't think GRiD is even as good is its predecessor, DiRT. To me, DiRT just felt....smooth. THe engine, transmission, exhaust, and tire sounds as well as the collisions were very refined, and for some reason GRiD doesn't feel any different to me. It's just DiRT + street - rally.
