WRC 6 FIA World Rally Championship
Unlike every other popular racing game title where your car make a difference because you are on a track, WRC 6 sends you on a rally where your driving skills are the only thing that will stand out and make you a winner among the crowd.
If you think that is the only thing you have to deal with and you got it covered, then you will be wrong. Your skills will be put to test with fog, mud or even punctured tires in 11 different stages. It has a local split-screen multiplayer to maximize the competitive experience.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
Despite bonging to the Tomb Raider series, the 2010 action-adventure game from Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix doesn't carry the brand name but does live up to the mark. Guardian of Light was received well both commercially and critically upon release.
Though designed to play co-op alongside an ancient Mayan warrior named Totec to stop the evil spirit Xolotl by imprisoning the creature in the Mirror of Smoke, players can go solo with campaign mode as Lara without an assist as well.
