Review by Brad L. Just over a year ago, I had reviewed the first Project CARS game on the PS4 in its Game of the Year iteration. If you recall, I was mostly terrible at car racing sims at that point, and Project CARS was the game that allowed me…
Read MorePreview by Matt S. Project Cars 2, the sequel to the quite phenomenal hardcore racing game simulator, is out in around a month now, and while most people don’t seem to think I’m a fan of racing games (I’m not sure how many of these things I need to play…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. In what is a fond memory of mine, I inherited from my grandfather his collection of Matchbox cars. Some weren’t in that great condition, nor were most of them rare or collectible by any means, but often, much to the amusement of my grand imagination as…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. As I’ve said in reviews in the past, designing a rally racing game is surely something of a blessing and a curse for developers. It’s a blessing on the one hand because there’s relatively little AI work to do. The only car on the track is…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. In the absence of Nintendo’s F-Zero series (c’mon Nintendo, surely you know how much people want that one), Sony’s had close to the monopoly on super high speed anti-gravity racing with WipeOut. Now, WipeOut Omega Collection might not be a new game, per se, but bringing…

Read MoreReview by Harvard L. The last WipEout game came out 5 years ago. The last F-Zero, 13 years. Shin’en Multimedia’s FAST Racing series has been filling the high speed, sci-fi racing game niche since then – the latest entry of which, FAST RMX, hit the Switch at its launch to…
Read MorePreview by Matt S. Project Cars was one of my favourite racing games in recent years. It was a brutally realistic simulation of motorsport racing, which meant it wasn’t for anyone, but the precision and skill that it took to be good at Project Cars made it the right kind…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. Car combat games have never really been a dominant genre, but if they ever had a heyday, it was the 64-bit era. The genre goes back a lot farther than that – Taito released Crashing Race in 1976 – but the latter half of the ‘90s…
