Metal Drift

22/10/2009

This futuristic car combat may offer limited replay value for its cheap price tag, but it’s fun while it lasts.

RACE On

16/10/2009

A fine racing simulator only available on PC, it's a nice deal if you don't have RACE 07, but those that do will see it as a pricier expansion pack.

Lunar Racing Championship

This is a racing sim set on the moon. With the help NASA, Lunar Racing Championship uses images from the Clementine satellite to build a real-time setting for the game.

iRacing

26/08/2008

This subscription-based racing sim has many fans in the hardcore community, as it features many real life tracks, cars and even has sanctioned clubs that compete to win each year's competition.

Death Track: Resurrection

10/10/2008

Worst implementation of a control system, appalling voiceovers and an abomination of a game.

Blur

While controlling photo-realistic cars, gamers can use offensive and defensive attacks as they battle for the lead and careen through real-world track locations ranging from L.A. and San Francisco to the streets of Hackney, UK and the treacherous roads of Barcelona, Spain.

Superstars V8 Racing

26/06/2009

This racing sim is decidedly plain and average. And despite being aimed at a more open audience, it will only appeal to gearheads looking for a simple distraction.

Vertigo

Guide your Xorb (which is essentially a tricked out orb) through 54 fast and frenzied tracks to become the fastest Xorber in your living room.

MX Simulator

22/04/2009

Best motorbike game since Wheelie: great physics, intense racer.

Split/Second

This isn't your normal racing game, as the speedways continually change due to triggered explosions around every track.

Colin McRae Dirt 2

This sequel to one of the best rally racing games ever hopes to take the slightly cult genre further into the mainstream.

Need for Speed World Online

Need for Speed SHIFT

18/09/2009

NFS is reborn as a series with more emphasis on driving with a slight sim edge to it and with less emphasis on campy cutscenes. And with stunning visuals the gamble paid off.

SBK09 Superbike World Championship

29/05/2009

Pyroblazer

13/11/2008

A sci-fi racer that is pretty but not fun to play.

Tales Runner

30/10/2008

Tales Runner is a free-to-play racing MMO that boasts character customization options on par with an MMORPG and a variety of game modes.

MotoGP 08

Considering how many times it’s changed hands, we’re quite surprised there’s another MotoGP game at all. It’s genuinely exciting, slick and well-presented even though it won’t be ‘sim’ enough for some.

Need for Speed Undercover

21/11/2008

Still a dependable source of middle of the road fun, but it sadly takes few risks.

Overspeed: High Performance Street Racing

13/07/2008

Don't let this game trick you into thinking it is an average racing game; it is filled with cheap, meaningless driving in a game that would hardly be good free.

TrackMania United Forever

16/04/2008

High speed fun and online competition combine to make this patch for the racer a no-brainer download for PC users.
