The Community Spotlight features some of the best unedited articles that didn't quite make the front page. This week, we clamor for a new Road Rash (and beat up anyone who disagrees). We'll also take a first-person journey through Shadow of the Colossus, check out some indie developers who need Kickstarter cash, and more. Grab your helmet, fill up your tank, and read on.
