    The long journey for the Doritos promotion is finally over! The winning concept, Dash Of Destruction, will be available as a full arcade title this Wednesday. The best part is that is will be available for free.

    Edit: I am told this will be available in all Xbox LIVE regions

    Probably won't be that good, but it's free.

    Just played it and finished it there. Takes about 30 mins or less to finish the game, it just gives you 200 gamerscore, fun for the 30 mins but that's it, no lasting appeal really. I guess multiplayer could be fun with 4 people though.

    Not missing much, Q Ball :)

    Tried this over lunch... not bad, but no longevity at all. I'm not surprised its free.

    Shockingly bad! Worthy of a basic Miniclip flash game, fine I suppose for free, but nothing special,

    Found it enjoyable for the 20 mins it lasted. Bit of random destructive craic. It's not exactly supposed to be too serious!

    I can't see them charging for it, but if you just queue it up now via the marketplace through your browser then it will just download next time you turn the console on if your not going to get back to it for a couple of days.

    It took about 40 minutes to get 200 points, it's okay. It won't inspire demand for a high budget sequel or anything, but I've played worse games!

    I got a good laugh from that.

    I played roughly 2 minutes and unlocked 3 achievements worth 40 or 50 points... Is this the live arcade equivalent of Avatar :p

    Easiest 200 gamer points ever.

    My young 5 year old lad should have a great time playing this - he loves T-rex's :D.

    Other than that, meh!
