  I managed to find a workaround for my Easy Anti-Cheat issue so I'm back to **The Division 2**. Well, kinda. I once again ended up installing the first game and spent some time alternating between the two to compare them - it's something I do pretty much every time I'm in the mood for TD. As much as I like TD2, I refreshed my realisation that in many aspects I still prefer the first game. I actually made a simple list last night of what I like about each game and it turned out way...

  I decided to go for a change of pace last week and jumped into 2 racing games I haven't touched in a while: **Stunt GP** and **Race Driver: Grid**. ::: spoiler Stunt GP It's an RC car racer from 2001 developed by Team17 (guys behind Worms series). It's a pretty simple game with surprisingly heavy(ish) controls - nothing too crazy but every time I get back to it there's a second of "oh right, that's how it feels" flashing through my mind. The game also has 20 or so...

  I got my fill of **Tokkyuu Shirei - Solbrain** for now so I'm back to jumping between multiple other titles on my Deck at the moment. The main focus is the return of my **Ridge Racer** fixation. I'm back to playing **Ridge Racer 2** (PSP one) but I also tried **Ridge Racer Type 4** and **Ridge Racer 7**. RRT4 still holds up rather well, it feels good to play and the presentation is top notch (especially its fantastic intro). Can't say I like it more than RR2 (PSP) however a big part...

  I said it before but I man, the duel races in **Ridge Racer 2** (PSP) are the most miserable experience I ever had playing a racing game - they are WAY over tuned. I really feel like there's a middle ground between smoking the competition on lap 1 and spending most of the race watching your opponent at the edge of game's draw distance due to them using a car which is faster, has better acceleration and starts the race with a boost. I like a good challenge but this ain't it. I finish...

  Are you playing the base game or with expansions? I never really managed to get into TS4 for some reason and I wonder how much it had to do with having only the vanilla version and how much with simply preferring the older titles. I should really give it another shot someday.

  Which Sims are you going with, the original or one of the later ones?

  I'm almost done with **Race Driver: GRID**. I got all the cars, won all but the final 6 races and pretty much got my fill of the game. I soured on it a bit (mostly due to the amount of events I'm not a huge fan of) but I still like it overall. Not enough to grind for the first place on the career leaderboard though. I won't be writing a big summary of the experience as I already mentioned everything before (limited number of tracks, aggressive opponents, mostly fun driving model etc...

  I finished **Race Driver: GRID**! I got all the cars, won all events and got both myself and my team to the top of the leaderboards. It was fun but I definitely need a break from this title, a LONG one. I'm still thinking about what to tackle next. I'm leaning towards either **Shantae** (the original Game Boy Color one) or **Shadowrun: Hong Kong** but my brain is rather fickle right now so I might end up playing something completely different. So many games to choose from...
