I'm still trying to recover the 6-digit loss of brain cells I suffered during last week's frozen jaunt to Joshua Tree, CA for Deep Silver's Ride To Hell event.The game is shaping up nicely, at least the 40 minute eyes-on only presentation the DS brass showed made it look that way.
At first glance, Ride To Hell is a GTA-meets-Easy Rider mish mash with equal parts Full Throttle, Vanishing Point and Road Rash. So... it's basically GTA with biker gangs.
Cool premise, which, of course, in video game journoland means cool press event, right?
Well sort of, if having your bus breakdown in the middle of nowhere, meeting a serial killer and bunking at a hippie rehab center is your idea of cool.
While I'm currently scribbling out all of my exploits of the adventure and an in-depth preview in Hardcore Gamer, here's some snapshot highlights to commerorate the event, which include discharging my weapon with Jo Garcia, Playboy's 2008 Cybergirl of the Year, and watching IGN's Nate Ahearn nearly blow up his room whilst attempting to light a cigarette off a pilot light.
