It seems to have a decent reputation on other platforms, so if you like the sound of the concept you may want to drop a tenner on this. In addition to the main story campaign, there’s a co-op local multiplayer mode, a PVP multiplayer mode, and even a mode where you play against the CPU. ![]() The idea is to try to take out as many of the enemies as you can, blinking as needed while being careful you don’t blink yourself into a bullet or other hazard. You can teleport, or rather “blink" between them. This is an unusual shoot-em-up where the play area is split into two sections. It doesn’t look like the fanciest game around or anything, but I think it’s rather well-featured for what it is. There’s also support for online leaderboards.

There is a variety of cars to choose from, and a number of different courses to race on. It’s a top-down racer where you race against up to seven opponents (and yes, they can be human if you have enough controllers) to see who can come in first.

In the PlayStation 2/Xbox/Gamecube generation, Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance (and its sequel) scratched the itch quite nicely. ![]() Things are a bit different these days, but time was that you couldn’t get many decent Diablo-style action-RPGs on home consoles.
