I know what you’re thinking. “More of those Doritos-branded games? Really?” Much to my surprise, bothDoritos Crash CourseandHarms Way, which hit Xbox LIVE Arcade today, are worth downloading. Granted, they’re completely free, but they’re actually enjoyable for what they are.
Crash Course(pictured above) is essentiallyWipeout:The Game, except it’s kind of better than the actualWipeoutgame for Wii. Ouch. It’s worth it alone to see your Avatar get beat up.Harms Way, on the other hand, is a seemingly straightforward racing game with power-ups.
The twist is you can either play as a racer or man a turret. This mechanic is well implemented, and I can’t say that I’ve ever seen anything quite like it before. As for the non-free XBLA games, it’s justBomberman Battlefest($10) this week. If you enjoyedBomberman LIVE, you’ll probably dig this one too.
