OSR Unhinged was developed by Riddlersoft and released on December 16, 2010 for 80MSP. A copy of the game was provided by the developer for review purposes.

OSR Unhinged hearkens back to the pre-Trials HD days; days where Elasto Mania and Dirtbike ruled the motorcycle physics game genre. The very soul of this game screams that it belongs in Newgrounds or some other flash-based game community, but at the same time it takes a page from its 3D brothers. It’s a simple, fun game that provides a lot of content and replay value at a very reasonable price.

Dark Energy Digital has confirmed the rumors surrounding their upcoming game, Hydrophobia Prophecy, which is coming to PC and PlayStation 3. In response to fan inquiries about an XBLA version, Dark Energy responded with the following via their Twitter account. “We’d love to bring Prophecy to XBLA, the ultimate decision is with Microsoft so fingers crossed.”

Prophecy is best described as a reimagining of the original Hydropbobia. Sources close to XBLA fans say that around 70 percent of the game is new. Among the new features included are an expanded story with a proper ending, a new hydro-kenetic power for the protagonist Kate, and a new voice actor for Scoot, a character that helps Kate through the game.

Here’s hoping Microsoft doesn’t miss out on the chance to publish this, but given that console companies love their exclusive content we’re not holding our breath. In the meantime we recommend everyone give Hydrophobia Pure on XBLA a spin, even if they’ve tried out the game previously. The Pure title update includes a lot of the gameplay mechanic-based updates seen in Prophecy. While the original Hydrophobia received mixed reviews from critics, the Pure patch fixed a plethora of complaints. Hit the jump to see the press release and a list of changes.
