* A game link! PC Mag says about Line Rider “There’s something addictive about sending a fragile scarf-clad man hurtling down a steep, crudely drawn slope on a sled. This simple online game lets you draw any kind of sledding course for your character, who will bravely sled it with no regard for personal safety. If you really want to be wowed, YouTube has some crazy clips of Line Rider players’ creations.” http://www.official-linerider.com/play.html and http://youtube.com/results?search_query=line+rider
