Default Volvo: The Game

Apparently SimBin have been working with Volvo to create a simulator of the new S60. Should be available today (Tuesday 26.5.09) from the Volvo website but I've yet to see it.

Here is a link to the SimBin website. Hopefully something to paste back later today.

Oh ! I'm waiting 'til I get home and will put it on my PC but notice there is only limited support for Vista. If you're having probs with XP 64 then not looking good for Vista 64.

They must be using Microsoft software testing methodology. Let the users bugfix...
