'Test Drive 3: The Passion'

Essential skill: How to take more care when driving

Format: PC, Xbox 360

This racing title is so realistic in visuals and gameplay that it may as well be a driving simulator, but somehow it stays fun too.

Equivalent to an 'anti-Grand Theft Auto IV', the game rewards your driving (while on car or bike) when it is careful, avoiding bumps and scrapes, and obeying (most) of the laws of the road.
