When the weather's too gray to go for a drive, kick it in this collection of recent racing Mac games featuring slick rides and unusual twists and turns.

1. Spectra

This twitch racer showcases one of Chipzel's latest albums, allowing the player to experience each of the chiptune tracks on offer by way of luminescent neon fast-paced levels. It's not as complex as Audiosurf, but it has the same joyful spirit and unstoppable vibe.

2. Coffin Dodgers

As far as Mario Kart-inspired games go, Coffin Dodgers has got to be one of the more original takes on the concept. If you've played Mario Kart, then you already know the mechanics in play, but the conceit — elderly folks race on customizable scooters in order to evade the Grim Reaper — is adorable enough to help the game stand out from the crowd.

3. Car Mechanic Simulator 2015

If your favorite aspect of racing games is leveling up cars, looking at cars, fixing cars, and thinking about cars ... then this is the 'racing' game for you. Car Mechanic Simulator does exactly what it says on the tin; you'll finally be able to focus on fine-tuning as many vehicles as you want, or at least as many as you can afford. DLC purchases abound, but at least you'll be getting a bang for your buck if this type of game scratches your car collector itch.

4. Crash Drive 2

Multiplayer racers that encourage players to ram cars and destroy monster trucks abound, but Crash Drive 2 is one of the few that nails the mechanics without mucking up the carefree simplicity of the demolition derby premise. You can find the game for free on iOS and in browsers, but the $5 Steam version includes an extra copy for a friend, so why not kick the developers some cash?

5. Audiosurf 2

I've saved the best for last: Audiosurf 2 is the priciest racer on this list, and with good reason. This rhythm game allows you to import your own music library, after which it will build a racing-themed rhythm track based on your songs' climaxes and cool-downs. New to Audiosurf 2 is a 'surfing' mode that allows players to intentionally distort bits and pieces of songs as they play.

Gaming on the Mac isn't as big as on PC, but there's still some great games out there for Apple computers. In some cases you'll be OK using a keyboard and mouse, but for a lot of people, kicking back and using a controller is the way to game.

If that sounds like you and you're looking for a good controller, look no further. Here's what to get.

Xbox One controller

You can't just plug and play the Xbox One controller on the Mac, but getting it working really doesn't take much effort. And when it's up and running you'll have one of the best controller experiences on any platform right there for your Mac games.

The Xbox One controller isn't all that expensive and has an offset design for its thumbsticks which many find much more comfortable than Sony's side-by-side arrangement. It's a great size, not too heavy and has nice big bumpers and triggers.

The standard black controller is around $45, but there are a ton of special edition designs out there for various prices that might be more to your liking.

Sony DualShock 4

While the Xbox One controller is preferable for many, others swear by Sony's DualShock 4. It's a very different design but equally proficient in its own right for Mac gaming. Again, it's not exactly plug and play, but the process of making sure it's working properly is very simple.

The DualShock 4 is very comfortable in the hand with great triggers and bumpers, albeit both a little smaller than on something like an Xbox controller. The biggest difference is the side-by-side analog sticks.

It's lightweight so it's great for long gaming sessions, and Sony also has an official adapter to allow you to use it with your Mac wirelessly, though they can be hard to find. But for around $50, this is another great controller and it works perfectly with Steam.

Steam Controller

Steam is more commonly associated with PC gaming but there's still a decent supply of Mac compatible games in there. If this is where you get most of your games from, them the official Steam Controller might be the one for you, and it has full, official Mac support.

It's a bit unusual compared to many controllers, thanks in no small part to the touchpad which you find where you might expect one of the analog sticks. The Steam Controller has been designed so you can play keyboard and mouse games comfortably with a controller.

There's a bit of a learning curve, but when you get used to it it's just as easy to use as any other controller. It sells for $50 but Valve is frequently discounting it, so there's always a chance of a bargain if you can wait until the next sale.
