Sim Taxi is a fun little online game that’ll help pass a few minutes if you’re bored.

You take on the role of a taxi driver, picking up fares and delivering them to their destinations. The longer you take to get there, the lower your fare becomes, but be careful not to crash too often!

X-Motor Racing - the “Real 3D Racing Simulator” - has been updated to version 1.11.

New in this release

• Physics optimization
• Sound improvements
• Performance customization in multiplayer 
• Controls improvements 
• Changes in particle systems 
• Added Axis Wizard 
• Fixed shifter gear

In case you’ve missed it (I had), X-Motor Racing is an Indie racing simulator with accurate physics simulation. Looking through various forums, I can see it’s getting some pretty positive feedback. Anyone tried it out yet?

I picked up a copy of Race 2007 form PC World for only £19.99 yesterday. I’m surprised, but pleased, that they’re discounting this title already.

SimBin really do make superb car racing sims. I’d already purchased Grand Prix Legends, GTR and GTR2 and they’ve all been thoroughly enjoyable.

I’ve only just installed Race 2007 and had a quick time trial, but the graphics exceed even SimBin’s previously fantastic efforts.

If you’re not sure whether it’s for you or not, you can download a demo from their site.

Update: I’ve now had a chance to try it out, and this is SimBin’s greatest creation yet. The superb level of twitchiness and handling and the incredible impression of speed, especially in Formula 3000, is second to none.
