If you've always reckoned you could teach traffic planners a thing or two, then here's your chance to prove it. A new PC simulation from Infogrames called Traffic Giant lets you take control of your very own traffic infrastucture, building new roads, upgrading the railways, even doing away with speed limits! The ad for the game suggests players can do anything they think will lead to "happier citizens and increased profits".
