Really, that review just sucked but regardless, more people don't play OutRun as a result.<br /><br />Maybe I'm looking too deep into this, but that's why I'm upset.Eric4372https://www.blogger.com/profile/09095046432310137155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013533765370589846.post-18708706197841247052011-01-08T14:18:44.890-06:002011-01-08T14:18:44.890-06:00Hi Eric, happy new year BTW!

These action-packed games are the mainstream gamer's choice, pure and simple.<br /><br />I also seem to notice that there's no room for the "serious" arcade racer anymore. It's either Gran Turismo/Forza serious or Burnout/Split-Second ridiculous. No more Daytona or OutRun junk allowed. Stupid. I may talk about this in further detail some day.Eric4372https://www.blogger.com/profile/09095046432310137155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013533765370589846.post-37180983516713014932011-01-07T22:55:28.970-06:002011-01-07T22:55:28.970-06:00Face it, man. Nobody cares about racing anymore. ...Face it, man. Nobody cares about racing anymore. It's about how well you can wreck other cars. Even I was intrigued with the Burnout series until the EA Sports takeover (starting with Burnout 3: Takedown). People like these games like Carmegeddon(?) because it's racing while offering something different from just basic racing. I personally think Carmegeddon is one of the sickest (as in poor taste) racing games ever, but that's another story.<br /><br />"OutRun 2" and "OutRun 2006: Coast to Coast" represent two of the last great classic racing games of this era. My advice- don't trust any big-name reviewers to cover racing games. Most would rather care about ripping apart aliens or delivering headshots to enemy soldiers than keep a car on the road trying to win a race.<br /><br /><a href="http://johnbmarine.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">johnbmarine.blogspot.com</a>John B.
