Ride 3

Ride 3

If there’s one thing that RIDE 3 has in spades, it’s content. The sheer number of tracks and bikes to unlock, not to mention available modifications, is head spinning. Poor old motorcycle sim games seem to live in the shadow of their four wheeled brethren and are usually reserved for a more niche audience as a result. The focus tends to be on more realistic physics that require a lot more skill and practice in order to get good, rather than the pick up and play approach that other racers might take. Of course, there are exceptions to this on both sides, but RIDE 3 proves the rule and is a tough cookie for anyone not experienced in the genre.

11-11: Memories Retold has an interesting proposition: a war game where you shoot not with a gun, but the lens of a camera. In a world where World War 1 is often used as a playground for 360 no-scopes and kill counts, it’s refreshing to see a game that analyses the people tied to the situation in a respectful, story-centric way. It’s also no coincidence that the release has tied into the 100th anniversary of the Armistice being signed.
