Overview
Description

Destruction Derby Raw puts you behind the wheel of heavily armored cars in chaotic arena battles where the goal is simple: destroy your opponents and survive. Featuring fast‑paced racing, realistic damage modeling, and a variety of tracks, the game delivers nonstop adrenaline for both solo and multiplayer sessions. With multiple game modes, customizable vehicles, and power‑up items scattered across the arenas, players can tailor each match to their preferred style of mayhem. Whether you’re competing against AI or friends, the intense collisions and strategic driving keep the action fresh and exciting.

Split/Second is an intense action racing game set within a reality television show where competitors vie to be the first to the finish line in a made-for-TV city set rigged to blow. Players don't just collide with other vehicles to knock them from the track, but can also trigger devastating events that drastically alter the dynamics of the race. Players must use pinpoint timing to obliterate huge structures and towering TV set pieces to tactically alter the track or create entirely new routes with the ultimate goal of becoming the season champion.
