Ride to Hell: Sexo, drogas y rock'n'roll

Ojito porque esto puede ser algo grande. De la mano del estudio Deep Blue nos llega este juego de acción —no tengo muy claro a qué género pertenecerá, pero me huele a sandbox— ambientado a finales de los años 60 en la Costa Oeste de EE.UU., donde nos veremos rodeados de la cultura del ácido, las motos y el sexo no-seguro. Encarnaremos el papel del líder de una banda de moteros y tendremos la oportunidad de pasear en nuestra Harley —o elegir entre una multitud de vehículos de la época— acompañados de alguna ex-universitaria ninfómana adicta al LSD, y dándonos guantazos con los miembros de otras bandas rivales. No sé a vosotros, pero a mí me suena ÉPICO. Lo veremos en PC y consolas tochas durante el segundo cuarto de 2009. Más información en la nota de prensa (en inglés), tras el salto.
