Wrecked: Revenge Revisited speeds toward XBLA and PSN this spring
No, it's not a game about Charlie Sheen's inevitable murder spree on all of those who questioned his ability to win -- though we imagine at least one game like that is already in the works. Wrecked: Revenge Revisited is the sequel to 2004's Mashed, a car-combat game for the PC, Xbox and PS2 from UK-based developer Supersonic Software. The developer will strap itself into the driver seat once more for Wrecked, which is currently slated to launch in the spring. Wrecked will once again focus on vehicular carnage, giving players access to various customization options for their rides -- oh, and the titular revenge mechanic, which allows vanquished enemies to retaliate through aerial strike maneuvers. A single-player Championship mode will feature 24 different challenges across four racing disciplines; online and local multiplayer supports up to four players at a time. Rip the e-brake to fly into our gallery below for the first screens. %Gallery-119420%
'Catch' criminals, 'rescue' patients by running them over
We weren't expecting much from Emergency Mayhem, a Crazy Taxi-styled emergency services title peppered with minigames, but these video previews for the police car and ambulance modes look really fun! For a game with such a distressing past -- having been announced and canceled for the Xbox and PlayStation 2 in 2004, exchanging publishers and developers several times since -- we wouldn't have been surprised if this turned out to be a wreck.Though reviews haven't been kind to Emergency Mayhem (the game hits stores this week), we think the minigames look like a good break from all the high-speed chases and siren-whining. You can defuse bombs, administer CPR, and even help someone cough out a fly. According to these two clips, you can also get some sort of bonus by running over criminals and patients. When that gets old, you can add spice to your emergency duties by crashing into crowds of pedestrians without consequence.%Gallery-18818%
