Joy Ride becomes Natal title?

Ever wondered what happened to BigPark’s colourful racer Joy Ride? It was initially due to hit Microsoft’s digital service late last year, only to vanish off the face of the officially documented corporate earth in recent weeks.

Now CVG claims to have word that the title has been yanked back behind closed doors to facilitate a motion controlled makeover and will now be presented at Microsoft’s pre-E3 Natal jolly in LA on June 13th.

The hope for us is that it will be a boxed release,” a secretive retail source is said to have confessed to the consumer site.

We’re still in the dark on that one, but it’s definitely for Natal and will definitely be here for launch. We’ve been told it will no longer be free to play, but that it’s been completely reworked into a bigger, richer game than before.

They’re putting the final touches to it now. The biggest thing for us is that it just works with Natal’s racing controls. We’re reliably informed it’s very intuitive.”
