  • An updated version of the original, and free for all existing owners of PixelJunk Racers, this one is easier, thank goodness, and has more content, including 32 different race modes. Really great if you have seven controllers.

• MotorStorm 3D Rift ($9.99)

  • A sampler of tracks from MotorStorm Pacific Rift with full 3D functionality. Supports both 2D and 3D gameplay, which I think means you can play it even if you only have a 2D screen or misplaced your glasses.
