Sometimes I wish I was born a few years later. While I suffered
through multi-hour car trips in the backseat of my parents car with
nothing to entertain me but my dad's lousy taste in music and guessing
games, children these days have loads of high-tech entertainment to
keep them sedated. And now, one of the coolest-looking car-based video
games ever is coming out.

This Carcade game uses a webcam to take video of the scenery going
by outside the car and turns it into a dynamic video game, transforming
the trees and buildings you pass into objects you can interact with in
the game. The faster the car moves, the harder the game is. It seems
like an amazing piece of technology, albeit one that may promote some
car sickness in the backseat. But hey, that's a small price to pay for
an actual entertaining road trip to grandma's house. Hit the jump for a
video of the game in action.
