Some awesome games there, a lot of these games paved the way for genres now

Even more locally, Codemasters have bossed a lot of driving games. The early Colin McRae and TOCA games still give me warm fuzzy nostalgia feelings.

I loved populous when i was younger, the first of the god sims but my favourite was Elite! Frontier (Elite 2) was just an amazing game, i have tried to pick up similar games but just cannot see anything of its type.

It's only getting bigger. Companies like Gfinity looking at building a purpose built stadium in London for gaming events.

PC, coming to Xbox at some point i think. However, looking into it a bit more, while it looks good and is apparently very playable, it's split over different servers and not really MMO. Shame as I'd have definitely got it.
