Monday Gamewatch

This week: Race 18 of Ford and Land Rover's toughest off-road trucks, 4x4s, and SUVs, or break out your armchair baseball caps and spittoons. Welcome to middle-May, PC gamers, where it's a great time to be outdoors and away from your computer as much as possible, as confirmed by this week's soporific lineup.

Tuesday

Ford Racing Offroad. The screenshots look a little 1995 Sega Rally for a contemporary racer, but maybe you've got a thing for off-road Ford and Land Rover trucks, 4X4s, and SUVs (or maybe Strategy First just needs a new screen-capture tech). You get 12 race types, three off road environments divvied into 24 tracks, a bunch of hidden routes, "pick up and play handling" (whatever that means), realtime damage and repair, rollovers like repair pods, time extensions, artifacts, and cash, and multiplayer split-screen racing (But not online? Who seriously plays two-chair PC split-screen anymore?). Also: I'm not sure how it's a special feature, but power-sliding to "throw powerful trucks around the tracks." Hey, it may not be Gran Turismo 5, but it's only twenty bucks.

Tardy:

Baseball Mogul 2008. Should have shipped Tuesday April 29th; now shipping Tuesday May 13th.
