BeamNG is an advanced soft-body physics vehicle simulator engine. The physics engine itself allows for highly advanced and detailed car crashes, and realistic driving and handling. It's way cooler in videos than in words, so look up a video if you're even slightly interested.
Recently, the developers released an alpha version that is purchasable for $15 dollars. You get 5 cars and 6 maps. It's kind of a crazy price for such an early game with little content, but the devs promise you'll be given free updates when you purchase the alpha. You can also download a demo with one car and a single map.
It also has high system requirements. My poor computer. :( |

| I have the free version and it's so cool! I might buy the alpha to get the other cars and maps. And of course to support amazing devs. |

| How well does it run on your computer? I get roughly 30 FPS, but my computer heats up to ridiculous temperatures. I guess it's time for a new PC... |

Seems good though.

| On note of how demanding the game is, I get about 25-50FPS depending on what type of map it is. I'm running the game at 1920x1080 resolution and I'm using a Phenom II X6 1090T and a GTX 560. |

I wonder if I should buy the alpha? I'm not too confident in my computer's ability to run the foliage filled maps included in the alpha, but I certainly want the full game when I get a better PC someday. Will the price go up soon? Hm, I should probably ask on their forums. |

I hope they make a NASCAR mod. That would be pretty sick doing backwards crashes with the physics engine.
