It just wouldn't be a new Twisted Pixel game without full-motion video interludes. Video gaming's most earnest and awkward narrative relic will appear in LocoCycle (http://joystiq.com/game/lococycle), the developer's Xbox One launch game in which you hurtle down the freeway as a sentient, weaponized motorcycle.
