Little Racers STREET Review: Size Does Not Matter

Posted on February 2, 2012 by Dave Voyles in Reviews, XBLIG Reviews | 2 Comments

EDIT: Developer Milkstone Studios informs us that an update is coming next week, which will include multiplayer mode

The XBLIG Marketplace is notorious for its often campy FMV games (sadly, no Night Trap port yet), Avatar-laden gimmick titles, and games that bear strikingly low production values. On occasion, a gem will find its way between the otherwise generic rocks of games and spark a glimmer of hope into XBLIG again. One such title is Little Racers STREET, the 15th title from Milkstone Studios, who have made a name for themselves for their high production values and strikingly beautiful games.

XBLIG New Release Roundup For the Week of January 22

Posted on February 1, 2012 by Mike Wall in Features, xblig | Leave a comment

The past few weeks have been pretty light on the new releases, so of course that means it was time for developers to release 3 quality racing games in the same week, right? There’s also a compilation of comic bookshelves from the 90s, a remake of an old PC RTS, and the weekly dose of balloon boobs.

Little Racers STREET – Dave

This is the best value on XBLIG this year. It’s one of the deepest games on the platform with a world that is beautiful, cars which handle wonderfully, and gameplay that will suck you in or hours. Milkstone Studios has a history of creating some of the most prrofessional looking games on XBLIG, and their latest release further reinforces that idea. At $1 it’s hard to find a better deal in the past year on XBLIG. Whether you’re a racing fan or not, you’re sure to find something to appreciate within this indie gem.
