At this week's DICE Summit in Las Vegas, the 3rd annual Indie Game Challenge took place. We decided to profile some of the games selected as finalists. In case of NITRONIC RUSH, this is final year student project from DigiPen University.

While not driving at the same time, Kyle Holdwick, grants us a pay-by-pay of the action, from this "survival driving game" (nice creative genre infusing there). His commentary also provides an overview of the game's development and some of the things that most inspired them. Fans of Midway's rather long defunct arcade and console racing series - San Francisco Rush - may be happy to see this team carry the torch in a world where publishers won't.

NITRONIC RUSH is free to download for PC for the link listed below. Given that it is best played on a gamepad, one might "hope" it shows up in the future as a downloadable console game.
