Vroom!

Verso

Vroom! is a racing game in which the players put themselves behind the wheel of a truck and speed off down the racetrack to run over zombies and compete on different circuits. This version of the game for Windows (the original is for iOS) includes only three different racetracks and only one vehicle (the protagonist's blue truck), but in spite of the scarcity of options it offers a good dose of fun thanks to its very playable concept, very similar to the mythic Carmageddon. The objective of every race is to arrive at the finish line in the least time possible, and on the way running over as many zombies as you can find in your path, dispatching them spectacularly as they fly off the road, blood-spattered. The game's physics engine helps greatly with this, as it does with our control of the vehicle. Vroom! is a really fun racing game that, although short and a bit lacking in gameplay modes, offers graphics and a mechanism that almost reach a professional level.

TubeStar

Mike Hall

TubeStar is a simulation game in which instead of driving a train or piloting an aircraft, you can become a YouTube star. The goal of the game is to become a successful youtuber. The gameplay is very simple and is always carried out on a very basic interface, similar to any Windows application. One important task you'll have to do is manage the time your avatar has inside the game. In the beginning, you'll only have six free hours to work on your videos (in contrast to the nine hours dedicated to work). In this free time you have to film the videos, edit them, and upload them to your YouTube channel. You can choose a name for your video, the image it will display, the type of video, and also some other basic characteristics. Once you upload your first videos, you can start making money with ads, even though it won't be easy to create a channel popular enough to make large amounts of money. When this happens, you can start buying better cameras and editing software, and also take special courses. TubeStar is a very comprehensive youtuber simulator that, despite not having particularly good graphics, still offers an entertaining gameplay.

Phase Shift is a community-driven game completely free of charge. The control system in the Phase Shift game is quite varied. Depending on the instrument and the difficulty of the song you choose, you can use more or fewer buttons. If you do not have midi instruments or guitar-shaped controllers (as in the classic and well-known Guitar Hero), you can play via the PC keyboard and the default keys or your own customized ones. If you do have these instrument simulators, you can set the buttons to be connected to the game and simulate a real concert in Phase Shift. As usual in this type of rhythm game, each game consists of a complete song that you can choose from the game catalog. Phase Shift's songs are created by the software's community users, so they are totally original. Once the song and the difficulty with which you want to play are selected, you will be able to enjoy your personal concert. On the game screen, you will see how the notes are accelerated to the rhythm line. The goal is to press the buttons at the indicated time to move the song forward. The more hits you get, the higher the bonus for the final score that will be shared in the international ranking with other players. Phase Shift is a fun musical game to bring out your rocker side from home. It also features the option to play multiplayer games.

EXO Shift

Michael Kuzel

EXO Shift is a spaceship racing game in the purest Wipeout fashion, with players competing in anything-goes races at speeds that will truly make you dizzy. Just as in similar titles like the aforementioned Wipeout or the famous Star Wars: Racer, in EXO Shift the spaceships levitate just a few centimeters above ground. Make your way through tracks filled with obstacles, impossible curves, and jumps that will make your vehicle fly through the air. Before starting the race you can choose between different ships. The differences are merely cosmetic though, as they all reach similar speeds and none of them has any special feature that makes it stand out among the others. EXO Shift is a very fun racing game that offers exquisite ‘cell shading’ graphics and a frantic experience for all those who love speed.

Submarine Commander

N/A

Submarine Commander is a roguelike game set during the Cold War where you have to take charge of a nuclear submarine and manage its entire crew as efficiently as possible. This last part is of the utmost importance if you hope to complete the adventure. The gameplay in Submarine Commander is quite similar to Faster Than Light (FTL), meaning you can only control your submarine through your crew. The main difference is, besides having extremely simple graphics, Submarine Commander is much more realistic and challenging. Figuring out the controls in Submarine Commander is the main challenge of the game, since you can't use the mouse, and the keyboard controls are numerous and complicated. On the other hand, it's a roguelike, so if you're familiar with the genre, you're probably used to using complicated controls. Once you've mastered the controls, you'll discover the game is huge and full of possibilities. You can fight other ships, travel the world, and try to survive dozens of unexpected situations that could possibly be the end for you and your crew. Submarine Commander is an absolutely brilliant roguelike submarine simulator. Despite not having a particularly attractive graphics, it's a fun game and feels almost infinite in its content.

You can activate turbo engines, a pair of wings to help you glide, and even perform special jumps, Mario Kart style. The game's biggest inspiration is probably the Mega Race saga, or the classic Pod, futuristic racing games with an aesthetic that isn't nearly as incredible as the one featured here. You have access to four different playing modes, including story mode, 'hardcore' and 'challenge' modes (for experienced players), and a fun acrobatic mode, where you can practice some of the awesome moves that you can use during races. Although its gameplay is pure fun, the thing that really sells Nitronic Rush are its graphics. Visually, the game will remind you of Tron, with neon lights all over and bright colors flooding the screen. The car models may not be super detailed, but the overall look more than makes up for that. Nitronic Rush is a fun, frenetic game that serves up a whopping dose of adrenaline in each race. You'll need to practice to get good, though, because the game is not very easy.

Nadeo

Once finished, we will be able to compete in them and challenge people of all over the world and try to improve our times.

From there, everybody will be able to see our abilities and try and learn from our manoeuvres. We will be able to do the same, of course, to try and be better than all our rivals. Trackmania 2 Stadium is still the same vertiginous races game as always. A perfect management and a precise control are the identity mark of this franchise, and they are still here. Trackmania 2 Stadium is a racing game where entertainment and abilities come first. To make the best times, we will have to have surgical precision when taking the curves, but part of the fun we will find precisely in not always winning, but in having to improve from race to race.

Cobra Club

COBRA Golf, Inc.

Cobra Club is an app that simulates taking a dick pic and sending it to random people so that they send similar pictures back – if you're lucky, along with some kind of compliment. As the word 'simulator' implies, what you do with this application is fake. This means the dick pics aren't real, and neither are the compliments. The gameplay is really simple: you see your avatar naked with his face censored on the mirror, with one hand holding a phone and the other behind his back. The options let you change the skin color of the avatar, as well as the erection. With a slider you can make your avatar's penis erect or flaccid. The camera options in Cobra Club let you zoom in, tilt the camera to one side, and use more than 20 different filters, including black and white and inverted colors. The pictures you take can be sent to any other user that starts a conversation with you. In these short chats you always have four answers: two positive ones and two negatives. Normally the positive ones are way funnier, as the game is meant to stimulate an open mind. Cobra Club is an odd game that could certainly be uncomfortable for many users. Although the dicks are censored in the screenshots, in the actual game they're not.

The simulator is pretty configurable and will allow you to establish everything from the controls of the vehicle, which you can define as you will, to the quality of the graphics with which we want to see the "game" (which has very low minimum requirements). We can also choose between different scenarios, cities, regulations and vehicles, being able to drive both cars and motorcycles. 3D-Simulator is, as its name indicates, a simulator. It is not designed to be played like a classic car game, and for that reason may be boring for those who expect something with more emotion, but for taking a spin around the city it is just right.

Art of Rally

Funselektor Labs

Art of Rally is a 3D driving game in which you can drive several different cars in all kinds of rally stages. Your mission: to cross the finish line as fast as possible… and maybe even set a new world record. This demo version of Art of Rally has two different cars, each with several paint colors. While it only has one rally stage, you can choose to race in clear, sunny weather during the day, or during a rainy night with poor visibility. The conditions you choose completely change the game experience. In theory, controlling the car is easy, as Art of Rally even has an automatic shifting option. That being said, learning to drive skillfully and staying on the racetrack is no easy task. Deviating from the course too much or flipping your car will cost you five seconds, so make sure to take the curves carefully.

Although this demo version only has one game mode, it gives players an excellent idea of what they’ll get in the full version.

Ferrari Virtual Race

Ferrari

Ferrari Virtual Race is a 3D racecar game developed by Ferrari, in which you can drive three cars round the famous Mugello track, recreated to perfection for the occasion. The three cars that you can test drive are the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti and the Ferrari 430. You can personalize them by choosing the colour from red, white, black, blue, light blue, silver, etc.. When configuring the race, you can choose the number of laps and the number of competitors you want, from a race against a single opponent over one lap, to a five-lap race against seven rivals. In addition, you can set the AI for your opponents, so they will be more or less difficult to beat. One of the highlights of Ferrari Virtual Race is the graphics, which offer spectacularly rendered vehicles, and even allows you to see the damage caused to the body when you crash. Here, you also get lots of configuration options. Ferrari Virtual Race is a racing game, and as such, seems rather limited by only providing one circuit and three cars. However, the quality of all of them is more than enough to warrant giving it a go.
