    Question What kind of game do you wish existed, but doesn't?

    G Surfers was an incredibly ambitious concept for its time. It had a reconstruction of the entire Earth on which to create race tracks. Unfortunately, it was made for the PS2 which simply didn't have the capabilities to do the concept justice. I wish it was made on modern tech. Just look at...

    Introduce yourself here!

    I'm from the UK and I've been gaming since I could first read. I built my first PC before I was a teenager. It had an Intel Core2 Duo and a 9600GT. I do racing games and JRPGs for the most part.

    Oldest part of your PC that you still use today?

    I'm rocking an FX-8350. Still good enough for what I need.
