Or so the website advertises, and to be honest I've never seen anything like this before.

In RCTiger, players register on the site then wait for a battle. The developers have connected a few remote-controlled tanks wirelessly to the net and they can be driven and even fired by players straight through their browser.

Apparently the video above isn't their 'latest version' so it's maybe best not to judge the game on that. You should also note that it's not free to play - it costs $1.50 (1 Euro) to play a 5 minute game.

However, on their official blog, you can see that they've been running free sessions frequently to try to get people playing, so if you can get in at one of those times, you'll get to try out this odd but brilliant idea.

The RCTiger site has all the details.

This is amazing. Even if it looks boring, this could be the futur of gaming. I would definatly pay a lot to drive those Drift Racing remote controlled cars.

It is the future of gaming, gamers won't beat highscores anymore but fight wars. I, for one, welcome our new South Korean overlords.

Best of all, hack free
