BigPark
BigPark was a Canadian video game developer owned by Microsoft Studios. History Microsoft acquired BigPark in 2009, a few months prior to the announcement of the Kinect sensor (known then as "Project Natal"). Their first project was to be ''Joy Ride'', a casual racing title which incorporated Xbox Live Avatars and used the Kinect motion sensing device. The game was originally intended to be a free Xbox Live Arcade game, but was eventually renamed ''Kinect Joy Ride'' and became a launch title for Kinect. Later, the company became more involved in providing interactive content that would be shown alongside live television as part of the Xbox One platform. As Microsoft moved away from the Kinect around 2016, BigPark along with several other studios that had been part of Microsoft's Kinect efforts were folded into the company.

Analog and digital variants exist and can be carried on a variety of media, including radio broadcast, magnetic tape, optical discs, computer files, and network streaming.

Racing Video Games
Racing games are a video game genre in which the player participates in a racing competition. They may be based on anything from real-world racing leagues to fantastical settings. They are distributed along a spectrum between more realistic racing simulations and more fantastical arcade-style racing games. Kart racing games emerged in the 1990s as a popular sub-genre of the latter. Racing games may also fall under the category of sports video games. Sub-genres Arcade-style racing Arcade-style racing games put fun and a fast-paced experience above all else, as cars usually compete in unique ways. A key feature of arcade-style racers that specifically distinguishes them from simulation racers is their far more liberal physics. Whereas in real racing (and subsequently, the simulation equivalents) the driver must reduce their speed significantly to take most turns, arcade-style racing games generally encourage the player to "powerslide" the car to allow the player to keep up thei ...
