Remember when racing cars were all about making motor-sounds like ?rmmmm-rmmmm-rmmmm??

True to its name, Racing Pitch involves getting dragsters to accelerate by half-growling, half-screaming into a microphone. That's right, a microphone, which means you'll need one to play (I used the USB mic that came with my Xbox 360 copy of Rock Band, but any headset will do). Pick a character to match your vox-box -- Stemcell-Bill sounds in the baritone range, while Miss O'Pzekt responds to a nice, screechy alto -- and you're ready to squeal, squawk, and rumble.

"Drag Race" lets you propel a race car with the sound of your voice down a stretch of track on a timer -- keeping the needle buried by maintaining a constant pitch is critical, and pulling that off without cracking or wavering unless you're a trained vocalist is harder than it sounds. "Pro Drag Race" is just "Drag Race" with a requirement to drop your voice at timed intervals to mimic shifting gears.

"Hot Air Balloon," the only pitch-averse game, has a DS-like feel to it: in order to keep a hot air balloon aloft, you have to blow into the microphone (gently) to ignite the burner and maneuver through shifting air currents to reach your destination before time runs out.
