Hey, palooka! You rate your skills with the mill? Then stop wearing out that sidewalk and get behind the wheel.

Great Red Herring Chase delivers breakneck noir-ish car pursuit action, but only if you've got a decent WPM. Close down a succession of fleeing suspects by yelling (read: typing) instructions to your cabbie.

It all starts out pretty easy with instructions like "right, right" or "hang a left", but the further you go the more finger-twisting hard-boiled slang there is to wade through. Know what a "switcheroo" is? You will.

To make matters worse, if you fumble an instruction you need to delete it before entering another one.

The obvious comparison is Type Fighter from our top 10 office stress-busters feature. If it's noir adventure gaming you're after, Scene of the Crime is peerless. Otherwise, how about a spell as a getaway driver?
