Harm’s Way/Doritos Crash Course Review (XBLA)
Harm’s Way was created by Justin Carpenter, developed by BongFish, and published Doritos/Microsoft Game Studios. Doritos Crash Course was developed by Wanako Studios, and published by Doritos/Microsoft Game Studios. They were released 12/8/10 on the XBLA Marketplace for $0.00
Every year we seem to get at least one free XBLA game. First it was Yaris, then Undertow, and then last year Doritos launched a game titled Dash of Destruction. It wasn’t the best game, but it was free and pretty fun. That was about a year ago, this year things have changed. Focusing on releasing quality games we get two titles for the Unlock Xbox contest, and both are definitely above the bar set by their predecessors.

Break Limit: Review (XBLIG)
Let’s just make a shooter where you have to go really, really fast…
Break Limit by Zombie Monkey Games is an indie game title that combines the old school challenge of a space shooter with a strong emphasis on performing a “speed run” (aka go as fast as possible without dying). Your ship flies through space shooting anything and everything in its way, but weapons aren’t enough. You can also use a speed boost that makes you invincible, but hurls you through space so fast it can give you whiplash. Motion sick prone people take note…
