I often say this phrase: "In the future everything that is simple will be complicated."

I think I can also now say, "For everything online that costs money, you can find a substitute for free."

I'm not sure if this is off-topic or not, but it just seems noteworthy that you can go and download and play this game for free.  Heck it comes with a level editor, multiplayer capability, lan capability, personas, tracking, ranking and a world wide competition...

cool.

Update: OK, this is a cool game.  Thoroughly addicting.  Reminds me a lot of the old sega genesis game "San Francisco Rush - 2049".  The plus it has is the level editor, the minus is there is no battle mode.
