Ride to Hell: Retribution (Video Game Review)

Both developer Eutchnyx and publisher Deep Silver have a history of putting out games that can either be hit or miss including fun titles such as Auto Club Revolution and the Dead Island series or some other questionable releases, so the release of Ride to Hell: Retribution would obviously be met with some expected various levels of optimism. The concept of the game isn't a bad one allowing players to take control of a rough and tough biker in the 1960s to bust some skulls and rule the open roads, but the finished product is less than stellar and one of the worst games of the year so far. There have been several games released in 2013 alone that make people throw out words such as "unpolished, incomplete or rushed, " but Ride to Hell: Retribution is easily the worst of them all and the perfect example of what a completed video game shouldn't be. If you were hoping to get your bike gang fix with Ride to Hell: Retribution , you'd definitely be better served re...
