OUR FAVOURITES

Play a stuntman

The life of a stuntman isn’t for everyone. The silver screen makes it undeniably cool, but the risks and the bumps make the reality of the profession... less appealing. Under the right circumstances, however – like when you’re not in mortal danger – it’s both awesome and kind of funny. Take reality out of the equation entirely, like the games below certainly do, and risking life and limb becomes fiendishly hilarious.

Go ahead. Break a few bones and blow stuff up.

Buckle up for safety

Get behind the wheel, or handlebars, and make an absolute mess of things. Barrel through congested traffic. Smash through congested buildings. Drive like your life has a reset button, because here it totally does. You know you’re doing it right if you’re smiling through a simulated twister of destruction.

Grab your helmet

Maybe you’re the kind of person who loves to put their nose to the grindstone. If that’s the case, these games ditch motorised rides in favour of old-fashioned bipedal power. There’s also the odd jetpack. For the ultimate in bone-splintering entertainment, grab your in-game safety gear and check out the below.
