This Wednesday: Arkadian Warriors get a GripShift on XBLA

If monster mashing isn't your thing, perhaps you'll be tempted to speed down GripShift's tumultuously twisty tracks. They're also suspended in mid-air, making for a gravity-defying thrill ride every racing fan must experience (it says here)! As you might expect, said experience is preceded by that of spending 800 MS Points ($10) -- if not for those lovely trial versions, that one would take you for an entirely different kind of ride.

As much as I highly doubt it, hopefully GripShift delivers something more solid than the current XBLA racers have. I don't see why it's so hard to make a decent budget racing game.

I liked Gripshift on the PSP a couple of years ago. And I sort of liked it on PS3 last year. Not sure why I should be interested in yet another version of the same game.

I don't think you should be, but there are some people who don't have psp / ps3 / and a 360... for those people, they might just like it as much as you did on the ps3 last year.

I had to double-take at the artwork for ARKADIAN WARRIORS listed above... almost confused it with RONIN WARRIORS. x_x

At least they are attempts at proper 3D games, and not just Flash games dressed in HD graphics.

Crap my XB360 is currently broken and I'm still wating for the UPS guys.
Oh Gripshift another great XBLA title with Exit,Castlevania,Doom,UMK3,SF2,TMNT,Streets of rage,Bomberman and Sonic.

Ok so this is it, when I play these 'Trial' games they shouldn't show up on my Gamercard right!

The warriors are from the 1980's precursor to Spencer Gifts? Oh wait, that was arCadia.
