Outrun Online Arcade Review (XBLA)
The original Outrun was released in 1986, and the latest version Outrun Online Arcade is very similar in gameplay to the original with the most significant difference being the improvement in the graphics over some of the earlier versions. The tracks and game types for this version appear to be taken from Outrun 2 SP (original Xbox) and in many ways Outrun Online Arcade is a condensed version of Outrun 2006.
Puzzlequest Galactrix Review (XBLA)
The original Puzzlequest is a very successful Bejeweled/RPG hybrid and Galactrix is its follow up. The same elements that made the original game successful are still present just adapted into a space environment, with a bit of resource gathering included. The main difference is rather than using the standard square gems, hexagonal ones are used, with the grid being reminiscent of that found in hexic.
