It's the first Friday of the new year folks and to start the first weekend off we're spotlighting a cool racing game called 'Steampunk Racing 3D'.  Featuring some really cool original features that differentiate it from the standard 'kart racing' game like steam powered vehicles and a retro-alternative industrial themed world.  The graphics and music give it an eery almost 'Brasil, the movie' like feel and the action combines both racing as well as obstacle avoidance and attacking using various weapons your vehicle is equipped with.  Here's some game footage to give you an idea of the gameplay.
