Whenever we see commercials for Pepsi-brand soft drinks, they rarely feature anything besides beautiful young people, prancing around and enjoying their soda way too much. But in Japan, it's a whole different story. Japanese citizens are protected by Pepsiman, a faceless hero who quenches the thirst of those in need. Lucas, Tom, and Ryan attempt to guide Pepsiman to carbonated victory in this week's RadarPlays Freaky, doing their best to avoid jackhammers, pedestrians, and colossal Pepsi cans along the way. This is likely the pinnacle of soda-centric games. In your face, Cool Spot.

Want to hang out with GamesRadar's editors while taking a look at retro games, new releases, and totally random experiences? RadarPlays is for you. Mondays we'll be checking out blasts from the past on RadarPlays Retro, Wednesdays we change things up to whatever we feel like playing with RadarPlays Shuffle, and Friday is packed with the strangest titles you’ve never (hopefully) heard of in RadarPlays Freaky. We'll also release RadarPlays for all the new releases, so be sure to check back!
