Readers to this blog will know I have been struggling on my choice of games for the PS3 – which I eagerly await.
A breakthrough was made today when I finally decided on my first purchase – though still haven’t been informed about the best supplier.
Formula One 06 looks like a great racer. I have had an affection for the Formula One games ever since the Amiga Version which arrived on 2 (or was it 4) magnificent floppy disks, was coded by Geoff Crammond, and was technically superb.
I went on a hunt on YouTube (youtube videos often struggle to give you a good sense of the game) but this one was good and made my decision for me.
Wishing I had waited the extra day or so and actually ordered the package with Woolworths that came with this game. Could have saved myself about £15. Serves me right for trying to jump the gun.
One of the PlayStation classics is set to be the most sought after opening day release racing games on the machine.
Ridge Racer 7 once again whips the racing series in a frenzy, with movie-quality visuals and a stronger online component from that of the Xbox 360 game, Ridge Racer 6.
Director Masaya Kobayashi, assistant producer Hideo Teramoto, and sound director Hiroshi Okubo all worked on the successful PSP and Xbox 360 Ridge Racers, and are aiming to use RR for PS3 as a showcase of the system’s power and capabilities.
Expect 5.1 sound, blistering speed and graphics, 20 courses to racer on, online play for as many as 14 racers, implementation of cool Nitro system showcased in the last two versions, car customization options for at least 200,000 car variations per vehicle, and significant improvements in online play (including cooperative team play.)
Best of all, Reiko Nagase returns in Ridge Racer 7, bringing back the racing queen of your dreams.
