1/5īeards & Beaks: The first in-house WP7 game developed by Microsoft, Beards & Beaks has a simple premise: flick the gnomes and squirrels across the screen to try and defeat the devious crows. The environments, although some real, are bland and are just not fun to drive through. The game does come with nine tracks (most which you get lost in), two drivers and a vast array of vehicles, but nothing stands out from other racers on the platform. There is a learning curve, and those prone to dizziness should stay away as the steering can get out of control. The tilt controls are the same, and the graphics and textures still don’t look right.
