Joy Ride slides into 2010, BigPark still tinkering under the hood

Joystiq: At E3 2009, Microsoft confessed to the secret Xbox 360 exclusive that (then newly acquired) BigPark would create: Joy Ride, a free-to-play, Avatar-based racing game. As you might have concluded after it missed its holiday 2009 launch window, Joy Ride has been delayed until later in 2010, though Microsoft wouldn't share anything more specific.

Really, were almost 2 months into 2010 and it took them this long to realize that it didn't come out in 2009. Douchebagery aside, One of the comments on Joystiq said that it might have Natal integration and I am starting to agree.

Kinect Sports, JoyRide trailered, soccer mom thrashes children

Microsoft put out montage trailers of both Joyride and Kinect Sports this morning, showing one woman soundly beating both a small boy and young girl. She really takes them to school.

I on't know why you need to be 12 or up to play it though. PEGI sucks, BBFC is better

Yeah, nice to see Microsoft really has their thumb on the pulse of what gamers want.

"what the heck is MS thinking about these minigames"

Answer: People who would fall for gimmicks and marketing.

I hope they do fall for it. They will realize right quick that they made a mistake. Are these games FULL RETAIL PRICE? I mean did Joy Ride go from FREE to $60?
