Ok,best is debatable but it´s free. :P

Nitronic rush was released about a week ago and it´s an experiemental survival driving game developed by students at DigiPen institute of technology.

Using the car´s many abilities(including boost,wings an jump),avoid obstacles that the city throws at you. In may ways the game is a tribute to racing games of the 90´s,but with fresh graphics,audio and gameplay.

Looks like a mix of Tron and Rush 2049,with some elements of Trackmania.

Also,great soundtrack.

Trailer:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNuSvuzPL10

Hardcore mode gameplay:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UElTfKjRZSg&feature=related

I´ve been playing a bunch and having great fun with it,it´s an amazing arcade title. Just thought you guys and girls would like to know about it if you don´t already.

Download link:http://nitronic-rush.com/download-game/

Hope everyone enjoys it. ;)

Edit: Btw,the game is completely playable with the keyboard but a controller works better,especially the 360 controller.

Yeah,I kinda wonder how this is free,it´s better than many games you pay money for,it would be a nice $10 game,at least. I´d buy it.

I wonder what the legal issues are with it being a school product? I at least hope we can donate money or something. I like to help support indie groups as often as I can and this is easily one of those times.

I don´t really know how those things work to be honest but that may have something to do with it. Yeah,I wouldn´t be surprised if they created a paypal account for donations.
