We visited the shop, run by an ape using questionable materials. We also explored the beginning of the story and tutorial, explaining how a tropical island got frozen over.

We continue to fail at video games, proven by the next level we did, which featured a lot of gelatin jumping pads. We had another mine cart ride, with more explosive results. Jumping fail is also included.

DK Topical Freeze is really hard, in the sense that if the player fails, it is very much the fault of the player. Turns out, one of us was really bad at the game, missing easy jumps and being unable to avoid enemies. Also, mine cart runs are really fun.

We wanted to cover this game at the beginning of March, but the Xbox One arrived into Bronson’s house and ended getting it put off until now. Is this game better than the big-name titles that came out in March? We put the game to the test.

We raced an Audi RS7 around the city of Prague, and paused for a bit to get a great laugh out of the crowd design. We finished off with a top speed run with a Hennessey Venom GT, a car best described by the man having a hard time driving it.

Bronson was back at the controls of his white Ford GT, now at the Silverstone circuit. We further explore the autovista mode, which is available for every car. The car in question was for our Part 4 race, with an Audi RS7.

Next up, we drove the BMW M5 (E39) around the famous Top Gear Test Track. Some pleasant surprises, including muffled noises in interior view, rumble triggers that work really well, and more engaging simulation behavior. Throughout the four-lap race, we got really got talking about how the amount of BBC Top Gear we watched, which caused our automotive vocabulary to get somewhat whacked. We also took a Lambo to Spa circuit to test some more physics.

We still could not record stuff on the PlayStation 4, so we explored a game that gave a major bolster to the Xbox One launch library, Forza Motorsport 5. Yep, cars have proven to be one of the best ways to show off graphical fidelity in consumer graphics, and this game has plenty of those goods. First, Bronson took a couple laps in his favorite car, the Ford GT, and we explored a bit of the “watered-down autovista” mode.

Watercraft racing! We probably looked a bit dumb playing it. Then, it was a rock climbing tutorial, and we explore the Kinect Sports Rivals hub.

There were two ways to play target shooting: Over doing it and having a sore arm, or not have a sore arm. After an iffy start, Bronson took the lead and stayed there. Then, it was Bronson and Bremenn at a game of tennis, which was not exactly easy to play.
