Ridge Racer Unbounded is more of an offshot of the franchise’s roots rather than a true sequel. Looking to shake things up instead of putting out yet another straightforward pure arcade racer, Namco Bandai brought in the crew most known for the FlatOut series of racers, Bugbear Entertainment. The result is a flashy title full [...]
Men at War: Condemned Heroes is an interesting game in that it’s not quite a pure real-time-strategy game, instead it closer to a ‘real-time-tactics’ game.

Microsoft and FASA have puzzlingly decided to shelve the MechAssault series after a fantastic run on the original Xbox, and other promising franchises like Chromehounds met their end far too soon to really make a mark.
