This evening on Mash Tactics, we’ll be ending off a short holiday week with a double dose of downloadable Xbox One launch titles. The first on the list is LocoCycle, a silly Spy Hunter inspired action/racing hybrid. While it might not be for everybody, I think it’s good to shut your brain off for a minute sometimes, and just enjoy the ride to stupid town that a game like this delivers in spades. Plus, it has cameos from two of my favorite people, Tom Savini, and James Gunn. Sweetness!

The second game on the list is Crimson Dragon, a spiritual successor to the Panzer Dragoon franchise. Now I don’t know about you, but I kind of have some love for on-rail shooters if done right, and Panzer Dragoon was one of my all time favorites. I’ve had the chance to play just a few hours Crimson Dragon so far, and have already been hooked by it’s gameplay and mechanics. It’s honestly a lot deeper and more addictive than you might have expected.

Be sure to come hang out, and join in on the pre-holiday shenanigans with us at Dtoid.TV!
