Redline

I've been playing a bunch of Cubed Rally Redline on my ipad. It's pretty standard endless runner fare. Switch lanes! Avoid obstacles! Collect power ups! In fact there's nothing really there for me to recommend, other than some pretty cute art direction. Why have I been playing it then?

Well, I've pretty much been obsessed with rally cars since I was about 6 years old. "But come on!" you say, "Cubed Rally Redline has about as much in common with rally cars as pong has with tennis!" Well, you would be correct. Yet somehow that tiny bit of connection is enough to hook me. Sometimes it amazes me how much I'm willing to put up with for the barest perceived connection to something I love. We've all had those moments of "I shouldn't like it but I do, because I also like _____" It's usually fun to see those connections. Except when you're about to start your 10th game in a row of Cubed Rally Redline and have to question just what the hell you're filling your time with.
