According to the report, Castaway has cut back its staff from nearly 25 people to just six critical staff members, and that all development activity has been shelved. Since Castaway was founded in 2003 the studio has produced only a single title, the XBLA pox Yaris, with other projects such as the unreleased Diablo-style game Djinn never having made it out of the ether.

Yaris was confusing as hell and the shooting was awful (an error people in the U.S will never forgive) so yeah it was a bad game but is better than having a commercial storm in the damn dashboard.
To be honest you people exaggerate a lot. It was bad game but it wasn’t bad enough to save the president and less to be even remembered.

What does that even mean?
As far as the marketing side, it seems that there are a lot of people over 16 who own 360's and this is a way to get them to recognize the name of the car. It works for that much.
Sorry for all the typos, all my posts are usually plagued with those. I'll pick a new keyboard tomorrow with a new xlive gold account.
Now what I meant is that the game is bad but is not Big Rigs” OMG WTF” Bad just bad like a bad design, pure mediocrity, nothing especial that justifies the hate it receives. Like when you watch a movie, there is a difference between a dull boring movie and an Uwe Boll movie.
Let’s go for a burger …
HA! HA! HA! HA!
