You're seeing that right -- it says "Doritos". After all, somebody had to pay for the game. Doritos Dash of Destruction can actually be looked at as two games in one. Upon starting the game, you have two choices: Either be a T-rex looking to chow-down on some Doritos delivery trucks or be a Doritos delivery truck trying not to get eaten by a T-rex. Either way, the game'll keep you occupied until you've finished its rather short run-through.

For those who've never played it, Dash of Destruction was a thinly veiled Doritos commercial about T-Rexes chasing delivery trucks. It was also free, and it was also not awful."
DSmooth and Codemonkey are back this week with another great episode. Although new releases were light this week, they make it up by covering a bunch of listener feedback and gaming news stories that were hot this week. Add in a bit of site news and you have a loaded episode.
They lament having to sift through April Fool's Day fake news, such as the squeezable bacon bottle and Taun Taun sleeping bag. They also discuss World of Warcraft geekiness, getting a shout out on the Windows Live podcast, Blizzard's mystery game, and DSmooth's love of Doritos (Dash of Destruction). They also slam Sony for the PlayStation 2, aka "the Aging Shitbox", price drop.
Game Vortex writes: "If you approached Doritos' Dash of Destruction without really understanding how it fits into the videogame universe, you might wonder why it is that you get to play a reasonably cool, but totally free, game. The free part doesn't make sense from a production value standpoint; Dash of Destruction is a good looking game that features crazy amounts of eye-candy and destruction, just like in the title... There is also dashing involved, but more on that later. The bar for quality on Xbox Live Arcade is pretty high, and Dash of Destruction squeaks over the line with several things that add up to a good gaming experience."
