SimBin has posted more details about its free racer, Volvo - The Game.
Car companies using video games to promote their vehicles is nothing new. Many companies licence their vehicles to big-name games (a-la Gran Turismo) as well as car-specific titles such as the PS2's game Corvette. Earlier this year, Volvo released a PC racing game of their own in part to digitally show off their S60 model. The game was a free download from GamersGate.com, though it almost isn't worth it.
GamersGate, a digital distribution service for PC games, has announced that Volvo: The Game, a downloadable PC racing title based on the new Volvo S60 Concept, will be available to all GamersGate users free of charge starting today.

"GamersGate only offers the highest quality content to its users and we feel that hosting Volvo: The Game on our portal is a clear indication of its quality."
