vroom

Grid's multiplayer has one of the most idiotproof interfaces among games that I have came across. No network configuration required, no port to forward, no IP to set. Just create an account, and the game throws you lists of sessions in play which you can join, easily fulfilling those with adrenaline rushes.

Too bad multiplayer games does not come with artificial intelligence, so you either play a rather lonely game with one or two other friends of yours, or you play with strangers from around the world.

The downsides are the lag which can sometimes spoil the game, and that you get to meet @#$%! people who do everything except do a proper race. They remain stationary when the green light goes off, so cars behind crash into them. Or they drive the opposite direction and crash into those who are really trying to race properly. And they laugh happily [in the chatbox] at the damage they have caused.

But otherwise, damn fun ah! Everyone should go get the game so we can all race together!

Of course for now in terms of entertainment value no game can come close to that being provided by our neighbour and her politics =X

Thank you for all the lunches you allowed me to have with you.

Hopefully the coming week will be a good one.
