"PC GAMING - Longest thread"

Yep that's right, there's been scores of these starting up, but all have failed. Let's make this thread a place for PC gamers to chat. Post anything you like in here, comments, reviews, but no spam please.

OK, lets keep this going gamers. For beige box and country!!
Or something like that. :)

Whoah, got to salvage this thread, Little Hobbo (R.I.P.) will not be happy it fell back so far.

Should add: Review for it:

I've never actually played it, but I am reliably informed it's a good game. But otherwise, get Downtown Run; it's like NFS, but you pick up bonuses and can lay traps. And you use cars you'll often see on the road: You start with the VW Bug, and go up to cars such as the Mitsubishi EVO VII, and MG TF180.

Yeah, I also enjoy the street racing games, pure class, I was thinking of getting midnight club 2 but is it any good?

Need for Speed games are great, because you are driving massively powerful sportscars in often normal-enough places. NFS III: Hot Pursuit added a great gimmick, especially with the Diablo police car. And the stinger.

And as for Porsche 2000; wow, man. Great handling, and great fun on the road courses.

I love the realism of rally games, WRC on the PS2 is as close as you can get to the sport, authentic in every detail. I like how racers aren't just won because you managed to push past the line of A.I. drivers, but because you quick enough to handle the hazardous courses at such insane speeds.

Other than that I do also have a thing for those street racing games like Burnout and the need for speed series. I've always loved the idea of racing high performance vehicles through packed city streets while all the time avoiding tough opposition from racers and police alike.

Makes a break from the predictable and dull A.I. in most other racing games, and non of the boring oval style tracks either.

Yeah, F1 games are good, long but good.

In my opinion, most rallying games are unrealistic: Most revolve more around racing than real rallying, which I find preferable: Better to get a clean run than get driven into: If I want racing, I'll go for Touring Cars, Stockcars, Indycars, F1 etc.

Even so, I found Screamer Rally Great Fun; although it wasn't really rallying, I found it great fun!

I always thought Rally Games were different until I got V-Rally. Tbh, I didn't like it much, just tyring to do a good time by yourself is crap, I'd prefer racing with all those other cars.

I had it on the PC, not my type of game to be honest I'm more of a rally man myself, but Race Driver is a good game for what it is. There are tons of vehicles, tracks as well as that cool damage system, it also has a pretty decent single player story to it as well. I'd recommend it if your a fan of racing games, don't know about multiplayer for the x-box version though.
