And it's not Skies of Arcadia! (Shock horror.)

From the guys that bought you Max Payne, a completely unknown game, which is definitely the most fun you can have with the arrow keys. It's the prelude to Grand Theft Auto, and you can race against Duke Nukem.

Yes, it's Death Rally, and it rules.

It's a top down racer, with RPG elements. You start off with this crappy little VW Beetle, you win money for racing in Beginner, Medium and Hard races, and you can add more guns, better armour, faster engines, bigger tyres. Then you buy bigger cars...

But the real fun comes from racing. It's really a fight to the death, and the bonuses are great. Death comes along and gives you a bonus for giving him some work if you destroy all the racers in one race, you get bonuses for coming out with not a scratch on you... and you can buy little power ups at the start of every race, like spiked bumpers and mines. Just be careful not to hit the guys watching you. You don't lose any money, you just lose your grip on the surface of the road on the blood.

It's a great little game, everyone should play it. Because it's cool.

That is all.
