GameSpot like writing about previously free online games that have been picked up for further development by commercial game publishers, primarily because GameSpot don't really have to do much of the writing. In the case of a game like Line Rider, coming soon to the DS, Wii, and PC from Bard's Tale developer InXile, GameSpot can just tell you to go play the original game for yourself, and then check out some of the crazily creative things some other people are doing with it. If you're really too lazy to click the links, the game is all about drawing a line-based course -- as simple or complex as you want -- and then having a little dude on a sled automatically go sailing along the path you've made.s
