Did you vote in last year’s Unlock Xbox competition? If so, did your pick make the final cut? Gamers and amateur designers were encouraged to submit their original ideas in the Doritos-sponsored competition. Out of over a thousand submissions, two will be turned into real (and free!) XBLA games. The three finalists to be considered by Microsoft execs are:
- Harm’s Way — snipers and drivers team up in a game that combines racing and blowing someone’s brains out. Delicious!
- Avatar Crash Course — inspired by Japanese obstacle courses, you must “press buttons, wiggle sticks, and jump up and down to survive.”
- Thrown — “the whole point of it is to smash into other vehicles in order to throw the driver from their car and then run them over.” A feel good game!
We’re somewhat surprised by the violence involved in some of these XBLA suggestions. But perhaps we’re looking in the wrong place for class, considering the last winner of Doritos’ contest involved dinosaurs eating exploding trucks (seriously).
