Looking Back to 2012 and the Blocky Building of Minecraft – Xbox 360 Edition

Minecraft appears to be very much one of those “Marmite” games, in that you either get what it is trying to do and love the game for it, or the lack of a discernible path through turns you off and you don’t. 

Looking Back to 2001 with Crazy Taxi!

Some have tried, and failed to mimic the brilliantly balanced gameplay of Crazy Taxi - most notably Taxi Chaos which released earlier in 2021. However, the original didn’t need to be expanded or evolved in subsequent releases because there is something special about the original that is lost even when slightly changed.

But did you know Doritos used to be the life and soul of gaming sessions? You didn’t have to get your controllers messy either, as I’m referring to the 2010 party game Doritos Crash Course. It’s been an entire decade since then and so it’s about time to look back at what made this freebie such a memorable experience.
