The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

Overall, more than 35 licensed cars -- including rally concept and extreme cars -- are available for selection. Rally enthusiasts will appreciate the detailed car history essays, driver performance stats based on all known TV broadcasts, team videos, and a new 3D explorer feature that lets you inspect the vehicles from every angle and "explode" them to see their innards.
