Hey just wanted to add one I like kosmo spin. I don't know how much pre-release press it got, but I really like it.
iRafting *** iRafting *** It's free now with a 2-star rating. I paid $4 when it came out. It's extremely challenging, and there is no other white-water-rafting game available. Despite the low rating, it is something worth checking out if you like river rapids.
Got Lead Wars today after seeing that I probably won't be spending much on the new releases. Gotta say the guys here are right, it's a great game that needs more attention. Going to catch a few rounds of multiplayer later at night with the girlfriend. Thanks for the suggestion. Tons of nostalgia as well, hahah. Middle school days..xP.
Lead Wars got a LOT better after an update or two (AI and map editors/sharing!) Not that it was bad to begin with. If you're into this type of game I totally recommend Vector Rally, which is an excellent version of an old pen & paper racing game like this (sortof a precursor to the boardgame Formula De.)
