If you are getting serious about your racing game or sim exploits, and you have the available space and requisite funds in place, then a cockpit is a crucial element to make up the perfect ‘sim rig’. It needs to be sturdy should you be thinking about using a direct drive wheel base in the…Continue reading “Next Level Racing GT Track cockpit review”»

I’ve had my hands on the BenQ MOBIUZ EX3415R Ultrawide Curved gaming monitor for a while now, and right from the off, I’ve absolutely loved it. This curved, 34” 144Hz display with a resolution of 3440×1440, is nothing short of stunning. While BenQ has marketed this toward sim racers, hence why we have it, there’s…Continue reading “BenQ MOBIUZ EX3415R Ultrawide Curved gaming monitor review”»

Say hello to the Ferrari SF1000 Wheel Add-on from Thrustmaster, probably the best-looking sim-racing rim I’ve ever seen. The relationship between Ferrari and Thrustmaster harks all the way back to 1999, and they’ve produced a plethora of licensed products in their time, but I don’t think any of them compare to this. The SF1000 is…Continue reading “Thrustmaster Ferrari SF1000 Wheel Add-on review”»

Local multiplayer racing games. You can’t beat them for a quick throwdown. If you win, it’s all skill and if you lose – well it’s not a sim anyway so it doesn’t really count. Spoiler – in my household it definitely does count. Total Arcade Racing does exactly what it says on the tin. It…Continue reading “Total Arcade Racing review”»

Six manufacturer teams, unpredictable results, young upstarts, ageing legends, half a field covered by just 5.3 seconds at the end of a race. There’s a strong argument that MotoGP is not only in rude health, but is the best form of premier class motorsport right now. I’m not one to disagree with that viewpoint either,…Continue reading “MotoGP 21 review”»

Ride 4 is an excellent example of how new hardware can breathe life into a game. I played through and reviewed the motorcycle game last year upon its release on last-gen hardware, and I found the main career mode to be punitive. The track limit penalties were overly harsh, the loading times ponderous and there…Continue reading “Ride 4 next-gen review”»

Years of playing racing games that haven’t allowed virtual mirrors have helped train my ears to become opponent radar spotters. As someone who has often had the blue flag waved at them, it has been a great skill to hone over time. Never has that skill been better put to use than in the fantastic…Continue reading “Blind Drive review”»

The grass is green and the girls are… well, there aren’t any. But by all means take me home again. They don’t make ’em like this any more. No, really, and it’s a damn shame. Burnout Paradise represents the pinnacle of 2000s-era game design, where ludicrous speed was king and damage modelling used bleeding-edge technology…Continue reading “Burnout Paradise for Nintendo Switch review”»
