It’s Wednesday, which of course means it’s time for the latest set of Xbox Live Arcade titles. Yaris marks the first, and if there is a higher power, last “advergame” we’ll see on the hardware. Set up to promote Toyota’s latest compact car, this mess teaches you the finer points of the vehicle, such as its ability to fire lasers from a cannon arm at fat, motorcycle riding robots
However, hope is restored when you learn that Yaris was released for free (still too much) simply to serve as a time killer while waiting for Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords to download. This is a brilliant mix of PopCap’s addictive Bejeweled and any RPG out there. Its turn based versus gameplay is insanely addictive, almost enough to forget the time you’ve wasted in your gaming life playing Yaris. Almost.
