SLACKERJACK - Bombay Taxi

Here's a fun little game that might be slightly racist. On the other hand, it might not be. You can make your own minds up - it's a game about parking cars and running people over, and it's called Bombay Taxi.
Now, having never been to Bombay - which technically doesn't even exist any more - we can't tell if Bombay Taxi is razor-sharp commentary on the low standards of driving seen in the Indian capital, or if it's a horrifying Jim Davidson joke made interactive. Basically in Bombay Taxi you have to use the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate a yellow taxi past various obstacles into a parking spot. Hit another car - or a person, or a traffic bollard, or a homeless man - and you have to start the level all over again. We're yet to complete more than two levels in a row of Bombay Taxi, but that's only because we're so outraged by all the stereotypical generalisations present.
Oh, OK, and we're shit at it.
