That being said, don’t let GG’s position as the only recent ride for PC in recent memory fool you into thinking it merely deserves attention for being the only game in town. Full Auto faded into obscurity a long time ago Burnout certainly fed the adrenaline rush of the visceral racer a few years ago, but features no true vehicular combat which means our most recent offerings have been only cartoony kart racers and last years reboot of the Twisted Metal franchise.Īnd it must be said that even with the combat racing grand-daddy as the only title recent enough to be a contender, it actually stacks up very well to it even if Twisted Metal weren’t restricted to the Playstation 3.
