Holy crap, I was hoping they'd do Jedi Starfighter! Hopefully they'll give away The Clone Wars on OGXB, too.

Mirror of Fate HD, too!

Been playing THE FINAL STATION tonight. It's bloody brill!!!

You're a train driver. It's some kind of emergent zombie apocalypse situation kicking off. It has cutesy pixel graphics and a mood that feels like INSIDE channeling Professor Layton visuals. It's a 2D survival horror train management game with a viewpoint that channels SKOOL DAZE. With twinstick gunplay and charged punches when you're outta bullets (which is often).

It feels like Dawn of the Dead mixed with Thomas the Tank. Verrrrry goooood.

If bikes behaved like they do in TT Isle of Man in real life, you'd not get around the first corner.

I'm downloading it now. Is it pants? Was looking forward to playing something a bit different....

Yes it's pants - and in fact the TT circuit really isn't that interesting once you've gone around it once. If you'd never ridden a bike, then maybe it'd have a little more appeal, but I can't see many bikers thinking, yes, this is great.

I'm quite enjoying it, you have to tweak the controls a bit. I did have all the ps2 TT games which were excellent. Personally I love the Isle of Man TT, follow it on the wireless every year and I've been there on holiday (not during race sadly).

[MartyG]

The Isle of Man TT itself is great, it's just becomes tedious in the game - 20 minutes+ to go around the circuit (perhaps you can get this sub 20, but the controls mean you're never going to be getting true laps) and the default race length in the game is four laps - you don't follow a single racer on TT TV coverage for four laps because it isn't interesting, and that goes doublely so for this game.

I might try tweaking the controls, but even then, this will be average at best.

I would follow it on TV That's my one criticism of it. I love the NW200 coverage as you get the full races, I don't like highlights packages. I have blu rays with the onboard laps and stuff.
