@BC_Animus - Autolog made that game for me and even though I only had two people on my list playing it, it helped that one was a close friend I see all the time. Every now and then I think about getting back on there to renew our rivalry!

Anyways I really enjoyed the previous Ridge Racer games, but from the premise and the trailers this one just doesn't feel like a RR game. But who knows, maybe a change in direction might just end up injecting life and ideas into this aging franchasie/genre. They better have an announcer like in the previous games though - otherwise I'm gonna rage quit after the first race.

Dirt 3
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit

Ridge Racer: Unbounded is gonna struggle I reckon.

Name aside, I'm not fussed about this unless it turns out to be stellar. I want to play a racer as good as NFS:HP, specifically a sequel!

I'm still torn on this one. Love Ridge Racer. Yet I really don't like the look of the new crash & smash mechanics. I'll give it a phatty session. But, I'm not expecting much.
