Forest, summer. Winter, fields. Sand, desert. I've been everywhere. I played the most at the beginning of the year. In winter. And I loved the summer tracks. Fields and flowers. Everything was so beautifully done. I played it more as a driving simulator. Of course, I never won. I always came in last. But I enjoyed driving it. Beautiful cinematic graphics. Very realistic textures. Good dynamics. Everything is great! The cockpit view is like a separate game altogether. But I drove in third-person. Standard view. What I call it – a rear view.

In short, as a summer resident, I really enjoyed driving on summer tracks. But it's still a rally. Not a road trip. And I was getting a bit tired of the sharp turns. And I tried some other racing games. Redout is fantastic, like the idea of ​​a futuristic racing genre like Wipeout. With gliders. Supersonic, super-fast cars of the future that look like triangles, for example. Fantastic view. It's varied. I tried some other things there.

And I focused my attention on Rush Rally 3. Also a rally. Also a race. Very similar to Colin McRae Rally 1, 2, 3. Something like that. But then again, it's its own twist. It can even be played like an arcade. And that's what I like. I'm a big fan of arcade games like Outrun 2006, Need For Speed ​​2, 3, 4. I discovered a new star in the world of racing games.

There are lots of cars to choose from. You can upgrade them, install different parts. Change the appearance. Put on stickers. Everything is beautiful. And there are lots of tracks. You earn points and spend them on new cars. On upgrades. It's a fun concept. The graphics are nice, nice. It's fun and plays well.

There are lots of tracks. Day and night. Winter and forest in summer. And everything is there. And they've brought in some nice graphics too. It's a nice arcade-style design. And the tracks are fun to drive. Essentially, they're arcade racing. And grinding. So, you compete in championships for points. And that's what you do. Then you make upgrades and new purchases. Those are the tours. A championship is a series of races. And you have to finish. Yes, there is damage to the car. And that needs to be repaired too. Otherwise, the car will drift to the left or handle poorly. The damage model is conveyed so well here.

It's nice to play with a gamepad. I played both WRC6 and Rush Rally 3. I also played a trashy but fun arcade game called Planes, Bullets, and Vodka. It's about that airplane from my childhood. For the Dendy console. Also with a gamepad. Simple and tasteful. The game has special effects. The screen shakes.

Then, at the beginning of the year, I played Left 4 Dead. And sometime in the fall, I tried Counter-Strike Source. Both games are from Valve. I'm very grateful for Steam, of course. So, I bought something and played it. I really liked it. I'm a fan of zombie games. It's a very atmospheric game. And stylish. It's like an action movie.

The setting. The camera. The action. As they say. The levels are like individual, long, intense episodes. There aren't many weapons, but they have their own unique behavior. And that still solves the issue of variety. Thanks to their unique behavior. You can be a sniper. Or an active shooter. Or something else.

Then Counter-Strike Source. Also just for running around with bots. But without the cinematics. But on different maps. Dumb shooters are generally great for relaxing. And this kind of game with bots—it's really nice to play in the evening. I was playing it this fall. Everyone's running somewhere. There's some kind of fuss going on. I even thought I'd found a game to play in the evenings. And not just on weekends.

Playing little games. From time to time i like to play videogames. And write about it.

Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.

For the first time I try a rally simulation. It is a serious thing. Beautiful graphics. And i play with WRC6. Part six. It is not most new. And what impressions it give. Graphics. Tracks all over the world. With most different weather. And snow and summer. And to race all over the world. It is like virtual cruise.

And everything is cool here. And game is cool, you can see it from the first time. But one point - it is simulation. And it is not so easy to ride here. And it is not so easy to have result. Well, like be first. As a real thing, I just take a ride, free ride, I do with this attitude. And with my imagination, I do simulation for road to countryside. And, well, it is hard for me to show sport attitude here.

Maybe, this is serious cybersport discipline. I know, that in Gran Turismo, it is like this, to ride. And I think, here it is same. Saying short – I, simply ride, some different roads. And make circle after circle. I try different roads again and again. Different weather. Different cars.

I like a lot how here it is made a trees models. And bush. More about bush and grass. It looks very beautiful. As a countryside fan, I can say - it is beautiful and very natural. Photorealistic picture is here. To ride along the field. Simple a green field. Well, it is so beautiful. Joy for the eyes. And if it is a field with sunflowers - Well you are a happy man. You have seen these things! And you have positive for all the day long!

Well, I like how it is made here a summer tracks. It is winter beyond the window. And you riding summer roads. Just like you are moving to the countryside. So, this way, I play it.

And, it is a whole world. And desert. And snow. Not only summer. Most different countries. Car has a little hard behavior. you need to understand and learn. And I even can say - to learn how to win here. So simple low gas in turns - it will be few here. It should to be some focus. Some features. Features about how to ride rally car. And something like this you need to perform here. But I know few about this.

Well, like, you push something and car make a turn while it is stay at same place. Or at some circle like go to a turn with a speed. And of course - to know the road. Where is what tricky turn. And there are lots of tricky turns here. One time it is narrow little road. Next time it is turn with 90 angle. So, it is not a way to relax. You need to listen instructions. You can run into puddle. To left asphalt. To ride sand road. And also, it can be rain, fog. Day, night. Most different weather effects. And every time - it is like new. All of these add some variations and points of difficulty.

So, this is simulation here we have. Serious attitude. I run with gamepad. I like it a lot. Especially, when I am done with shooters game. I take a racing genre. And I am heavy about racing genre. And have a good road, everyone, have a good virtual roads! And have fun!
