Forever Drive Review



Lately, I've been on the lookout for freemium games that offer up more than the usual. I feel like I've built and bred just about everything under the sun, ya know? Forever Drive [Free], though — Supermono knocked it out of the park with this one. It's free-to-play, it's gorgeous and it's eons away from the same old thing.
As we've covered extensively, Forever Drive is about, um, driving forever. It's an arcade-style driving game where your performance is ranked not on speed but on the points you pick up and the combos you build. It sports a comprehensive leveling system that earns you better, shinier and cooler cars as you progress, and a track editor that lets you help build the endless roads you'll be riding on. And everything looks like it's been ripped straight out of the best parts of Tron. Sounds great, no?

Groove Coaster Review


Groove Coaster is a mash-up of genres; aggregating the timing-based tapping encountered in most tunes recreational activities, the psychedelic wire rope perimeter visuals from labels like Rez HD and the unfailing upgrades and evolutions in TAITO’s other release. The player’s avatar glides along a wire rope as it turns and turns, sometimes temporary a shining thing which will demand a tap. And that’s the bounds of the gameplay. No virtual branches, no tilting and no on-screen buttons to press. It’s just a not hard, exquisite one-touch interface.
