There's a special elegance to subway maps. Much of it is just in the looks: the minimalism and the weirdly playful colours. I look at London's tube map and see a kind of Scandi children's toy. You know the sort - made of wood, a bit tactile, and always passively educational, the kind designed by friendly faces in white coats that do want you to have fun, but also develop very specific parts of your brain while you're doing it. This is also the real elegance of it. Compared to every other kind of public transport map, a tube map is as simple to look at - but it has to have been made by a genius.

After a huge drop of games on Apple Arcade, we're going to spend some of this week picking through the new stuff. First up, it's a PlayStation favourite with a new home...

Fantasian is a game from Mistwalker, the studio founded in 2006 by Hironobu Sakaguchi, creator of Final Fantasy. It is, by its nature, a game with history behind it, vested interests and storied careers, and if you're particularly fond of that history then I'm sure you'll love it: it has turn-based battles and timid, oddly-dressed, techno-magical characters; it has small parochial towns with chatty villagers; it has a fantastical story, something about malevolent gods and machines taking over nature; and it has music from Nobuo Uematsu. Sakaguchi, for what it's worth, has suggested this one might be his last.

Erica, the formerly PlayStation-exclusive interactive live-action thriller from developer Flavourworks, is heading to Steam on 25th May.

There are many bygone racing tracks worth mourning, from the eye-wateringly steep banked curves of Brooklands to Berlin's Avus, a five-mile long wall of death once run by outrageous looking Mercs and Auto Unions, but for all that glamour and glory it's a more mundane lost race that's won my heart. In the late 80s and early 90s we had the Birmingham Superprix, a series of F3000 and BTCC races remarkable only for the awful driving and high attrition the cramped layout provoked, and yet an event that lived up to its billing as the Monaco of the Midlands. Here was motorsport at its most bare knuckles, racing that wasn't necessarily pretty to watch yet was heart-thumpingly raw.
