Its a gamers world…
Imagine my elation when I discover that someone has churned out a brilliant modification for my new favourite racing simulation game; GTR2. I speak of the Porsche Carrera Cup 2006 mod.
GTR2 is a complete racing game, so much so that I am on the verge of buying a proper steering wheel/pedal setup so I can actually enjoy it to its fullest and be competitive at the higher difficulty levels. As used to keyboard controls as I am, I just can’t remain competitive with the smooth driving and adjustable throttle applications that the computer AI uses - and as a result, the on/off effect that my keyboard controls have lead to way too many spins and messy laps.
The modding community has managed to make it better though. Support for the 2006 Carrera Cup category is simply awesome. The new 911 (997) generation GT3 in all its glory. Liveries faithfully reproduced for the game.
Quite a few hours of playability in this one I think…
This afternoon Kate and I went DVD shopping (good deals to be found on City of God and The Matador.. hehe) and afterwards, we came back here to play some games.
Unable to stay away from Insaniquarium Deluxe, Kate immediately jumped onto the other computer and booted it up. No question, no second thought about it. Zoned out and fully, 100% immersed in the wonders of virtual aquariums (that strangely, are attacked by aliens… I’ve not quite worked that one out yet).
However, afterwards, I convinced her to play a co-operative game of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. And amazingly, she seemed to actually enjoy it.
Though like it was any question in my mind.. I mean who couldn’t like the Marvel Universe once being subjected to it? It is completely immersing.
My divine plan is slowly piecing itself together… muahahaha
