X Motor Racing

X-Motor Racing is an indie racing sim with a focus on complex car physics. In addition to various play modes (hot lap, races against AI, dedicated server...) the game features widely customizable physics and an array of telemetric tools, and has been used by semi-pro racing teams as a cost-effective way to test and fine-tune real vehicle setups.

Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues

Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues lets you wreck brick-havoc across the fourth movie's scenes, but it's also a completely new take on the previous trilogy. This title brings a lot of improvements and changes to the Lego series: the more open level branching, finally subtle use of next-gen FX and level editor all contribute to the renewing of the Lego/movie super-franchise, just in time for the upcoming Lego Harry Potter game. The new free-form gameplay and vast hub zones will have you begging for a minimap though.

Need for Speed: Shift

Shift is a half-arcade, half-serious racing sim. Even with all assists on, the driving is more demanding than what's typical in a NFS game, but everything you do in races counts as experience points - from hitting an opponent car to reaching top speeds to staying on the race line - so both top racers and n00bz have many ways to earn cash and unlock stuff.
