Yaris Yanked From Xbox Live?

Kotaku writes:

"Normally we'd object to the removal of choice when it comes to our Xbox Live Arcade games. If we want to play your crap shovelware, who are you to tell us otherwise, Microsoft? But in the case of the free-to-download XBLA "game" Yaris... well, we've played Yaris. Nobody should play Yaris. It's not worth the electricity expended to keep the Xbox 360 on long enough to complete the download.

That's why we're not exactly saddened to learn that Yaris has disappeared from the Xbox Live Marketplace, a little over a year after going live.

Yaris has even be de-listed from Xbox.com - the English language United States specific version, anyway - with the game detail page now playing dumb as to its existence. There's no mention of the game on the publicly available Marketplace."

Top Tuesday - The 10 worst video games ever.

MWEB GameZone writes: "The things that you love the most, are also the things that can hurt you the most. Which is just an unnecessarily complicated way of saying that there are really, really bad video games out there and they'll make you feel bad.

We've compiled a list of these aberrations so that you don't ever have to play them yourself."

Star Trek was pretty shocking.

How did that Custer game get approved ?

Different times I guess.

plut0nash3585d ago

Bills needed to be paid I guess.

CongoKyle3586d ago

I really thought the picture of the horse was a real game. Not even sure why I'm disappointed it isn't ;/ Also, Survivor? What's the real aim of the game? Survive the opening credits?

HanCilliers3585d ago

Fix the picture, don't mislead the N4G readers.

Misleading. Why was a picture of Castle Crashers selected when the article mentions the game as a 'great title'? To make the potential reader think that GPT is calling one of the finer XBLA titles the worst?

Castle Crasher is one of the worst games on XBLA? Is this guy on crack?

vgn244774d ago

I agree that he'd have to be on something, but maybe you should have read it. Doesn't appear that the guy said Castle Crashers was the worst.

Derekvinyard134774d ago

Castle crashers isnt even on there!!

darthv724774d ago

some of them are indie games. Yeah there are some stinkers on the indie side as there is on the regular side.

Not all indie games are bad though. Diamonds in the rough if you will.

guitarded774774d ago (Edited 4774d ago )

He/she just put the pic to get hits Raichu50 is a LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!

antz11044774d ago

LOL at the total flamebait pic to get people to read,CC wasn't even on there.

Low tactic author, very low indeed.

B1663r4774d ago

He should have chosen a Yaris logo instead of Castle Crashers, because Castle Crashers is one of the best games this gen.

READ IT! The pic was meant to get attention at most, Got mine.

Neko_Mega4774d ago

Castle Crasher isn't on this list, I think this person used it to get hits.

Other then that I think I list is right on the dot, but using Castle Crasher pictue was kind of bs.

BeaRye4774d ago

How in the F is that Doritos game not on there? It's absolute garbage.

oddexarcadia4774d ago

You have to keep in mind that this is from someone who used the Castle Crasher pic to get attention for their article.

darthv724774d ago

i have the first one but never really played it. The crash course one is pretty fun though. Sort of a mix of ninja warrior and wipeout.

dash of destruction...had to think a minute. Seeing as i never played it i cant say one way or the other. It was free and for a free game that is better than Yaris it cant be all that bad.

antz11044774d ago

Dude for a free game Crash Course is pretty fun and addicting.

IDK, did Doritos have another game I didn't know about?

darthv724774d ago

crash course is the latest one with avatar support. The first one was called dash of destruction and it was some kind of trex running around breaking stuff in a top down type of view.

It might still be on xbla for free.

antz11044774d ago

I did not know that, thanks Darth!

KaBaW4774d ago (Edited 4774d ago )

I don't know of the game you are talking about.. but, if I'm not mistaken, they (Doritos) had another game, for XBLa. This game was played with four(4) teams of two players, or with bots, where one player drove a vehicle around a track in a race, using a select of 4 vehicles. The other player controlled turrets, that were placed around the track, to shoot at and destroy the contending teams vehicles or gunners. Whilst the driver tried to avoid the gunners, and to remain in first place (obviously) while picking up 'abilities.' Such abilities were that of one giving your vehicle a shield, one that upgraded your gunners turrets, one downgraded the contending gunners turrets, and one for a boost (I believe).

Fun game, I say. It's called Harm's Way. It's free.

Tikicobra4774d ago

Wow, that's the most pathetic attempt at getting views I've seen in quite a while.

4774d ago
BeaRye4774d ago

I think (at least hope) that it's a "contrast" thing meaning Castle Crashers is awesome.

ThanatosDMC4774d ago

Weirdest exclusive game on 360 that you can get for $1 is Sneak King... Burger King game and you play as a creeper.

this and Looney Tunes are sure candidates for GOTY. Just don't ask which category.

waldopepper6039d ago

Heh at least this game will once and for all prove which 'gamers' play certain titles they don't actually enjoy JUST to get the achievement points.
