DBT – in my opinion, the best racer on the PC at the moment is GRID. It’s a fantastic game to play, offers a huge amount of variety and doesn’t require a *huge* graphics card to run, either. Saying that, FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage is good for, well, Ultimate Carnage.

I’ve also got a soft spot for the Geoff Crammond’s old GP games, particularly the third and fourth – I had a steering wheel when they came out and it was, at the time, hyper-realistic!

How about your favourites?

Mike, what’s the best PC racer then, in your opinion?

I’ve been out of the PC loop for so long now… Last is it still the official FIAGT. I had to play that at lowest detail cos my graphics card was so old…

I just happened across a Rock laptop. sold as being “for gamers”, you’d need your bumps feeling if you tried to play anything reactive with the wobble-pad or the scrubby-square thing. I mostly play Need For Speed if I’m gaming – the Rock might be OK for driving s supermarket trolley round an empty car-park but anything above that fails the laugh test.

So I’m out today looking for something which qualifies as a portable game controller that I can actually play Rally Championship with.

Yeah, that’s true, a racing seat and pedals is the ultimate way to enjoy a racing game.

On a PC, of course. :p

I agree FPS don’t work on the console, but the last one I played seriously was Quake 2, when I had a gaming PC.

Anyway, if you want to play GT seriously you need a racing seat with the wheel and pedals… Marvellous

I love slotching on the sofa at a mates house playing 2 player Gran Turismo on the PS2, but if I’m going to play something on my own or anything serious, then it has to be the PC.

FPSs just don’t work on a console. You only have to look at the console ports to the PC to see how linear and restrictive they feel in gameplay. Just feels like I’m bashing the buttons.

Add that to the control problems I mentioned earlier and for me and for the type of games I play, it has to be the PC everytime.

Grand Turismo.

So I have to always have whatever the current Playstation is. It’s the only game that I can be bothered to play (along with a bit of Pro Evo every now and then) now that I’m approaching 30, married and in full time work, as opposed to young with too much free time and not enough money to venture out of the flat…

My PC helps me browse the web and e-mail people I can’t be bothered to talk to. It wouldn’t know 3d graphics if it met it in a lap dancing club and gave a free show!

Perhaps I’m getting old and boring.

I do miss PC gaming. But I like the easy on console stuff. I work in IT, I don’t want to see the inside of a PC when I get home anymore…
