Given my love for classic top-down racing, as well as a bit of rough and tumble weapon play and carnage, on paper Bloody Rally Show would be right up my alley...
This is an odd one, as on multiple levels it strikes me as a title that isn't sure what it wants to be...
Multiplayer multi-event sports compilations will always tend to be hit or miss, especially when trying to find the sweet spot where gameplay is just nuanced enough for better gamers but can still be picked up by anyone...
It has been fascinating in the last generation or so to watch the FMV genre not only return to the fold, but really make a stab at legitimacy as well...
Usually when you think of casual games puzzles and the like are usually what comes to mind, or perhaps something akin to a visual novel...
With its attractively-animated characters and environments, Tunche absolutely doesn’t look like any other beat-em-up on the system...
Since it has been quite some time since Left 4 Dead and its sequel were released way back when, people like me have been jonesing for something more modern that could attempt to scratch that itch...

Though my natural tendency is to giggle at the use of EXTREME in any title, and I won’t try to argue that the game’s presentation doesn’t inspire confidence, I’ll admit that I’ve had much more fun with this combat racer than I would have assumed...
Fatal Frame is one of those series I've heard about on the wind that always sounded interesting, but I've never had the opportunity to check out...
