Have you ever wanted to know more about Pyongyang? Of course you have! Thanks to the air of mystery that surrounds North Korea and the harsh tourist laws they place on people trying to visit the area, any information that we can get is useful.

Or at least that's what I thought before playing Pyongyang Racer, because the only things I learned from this game were that there are never more than three cars on the road at any one time, that alluring but hard police officers will berate me at random intervals, and that the entire area appears to be made out of old Hollywood sets where the population is told to stay indoors at all times.

Hmm. On second thought maybe this is actually closer to the mark than I realized. Laughable presentation aside, the game is unintentionally hilarious, with you collecting oil drums and information about historic landmarks, all of which provide next to no actual detail and possess a tiny image so pixelated you'd think you were collecting used tissues instead of postcards.

Seeing as many of us might never travel to the region, this is the closest we'll ever get to experiencing Pyongyang. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing in all honesty. Still, you have to appreciate the attempt.
