In this edition of PC Gamer Plays, we ever so slightly tweak GTA IV's car physics and challenge three editors to go for jogs through Liberty City. No problem...as long as they can dodge a maelstrom of frictionless automotive projectiles which scatter bloody ragdolls like confetti at the worst parade ever.

Part one features PC Gamer senior editor Evan Lahti's attempt - watch below to see if he can avoid becoming a road pancake and make it to the finish line, and check back all week for more installments, including outtakes and instructions on how to mod the game yourself.
