Racing Game Wreckage

[Scrapyard24c]

Fun fact about Test Drive: EOD, if you've ever played NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona, you may recognize some of the tracks and names of the drivers.  That's because both games were developed by Monster Games.  All the tracks you race on are tweaked versions of the ones you race on in the dirt and modified series in Dirt to Daytona and the names of the drivers are the same ones as the fictional drivers in said game.

If you wonder where Monster Games is now, they've been exclusively working with Nintendo for the past couple of years to create the Excite series, ei: Excite Truck, Excitebots: Trick Racing, and Excitebike: World Rally.

This is probably the best song to be playing whenever you're in a demolition derby in Flat Out 1.  The title is kind of fitting if you think about it.

Ah. Brings me back the good ol' memories... 2004, 2005... *sigh*

I have FlatOut on my computer, so I could basically play it right now if I wanted. ^__^

Nice, me too. Got it on Steam from the Summer offer thing.

Nice.  I hope to be adding Burnout Paradise to my Steam Library soon as well.  That is so far the only one I have yet to play in the Burnout franchise.  I tried getting it on the Gamestop app but it crashed even before I got to drive.

I also like some of the throwbacks to previous games such as the Big Surf theme from Burnout 2, known as Pass Me By in Burnout Paradise.

I adore Paradise. I used to play against friends in Gumball 3000 style races, hah. One side or corner of the map, to the other, with checkpoints - love it. 's just weird that I couldn't get A rank on 360, yet I did on PS3.

One of my favorite games from the PS2.  Shame it didn't get much attention, let alone a sequel.

How has anyone not only one person mentioned the shining king of destruction racers, Carmageddon?

Because, Carmageddon is too awesome to be mentioned by mere mortals, fortunatly JD is immortal enough to mention it.

Carmaggedon

This just in from the makers of Carmageddon;  Carmageddon will be available for download for Android users this May 10th!

Quite possibly one of the greatest of the overlooked PS2 racing games, Rumble Racing.  Actually a sequel to a PS1 game, NASCAR Rumble, it was a very high rated game and was praised by critics.  Unfortunately, it was overlooked by many due to the likes of Gran Turismo 3 and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2.

Intro:


Gameplay from one of my favorite tracks, The Gauntlet:



Grand Champion ending:



Fun fact (The in-game commentator is the same person who voiced Ironhide in the Michael Bay Transformers films)
