Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

So I've mentioned before how often I download things when I'm bored. Boredom is evil and not even the almighty World of Warcraft is enough to stave it off. A little gem caught my eye yesterday. Now I've tried many Free-to-Play (F2P) games, Maplestory, Grenada Espada, Flyff, Rappelz, Urban-Rivals, need I go on? Thing is they all have this one thing I come to eventually loathe. A grind.

I'm obsessive about new stuff but eventually I'll reach a decent level, say 'eh', and uninstall the game. Finally, I've found a online MMO I'll never tire of. Upshift StrikeRacer is a new game by the same company who owns Flyff. It's a racing game and you can blow up other racers, think Twisted Metal. Now I looove racing games and this one I'll highly recommend to anyone, plus its Free!. Check it out:

Pros:
Addictively Fun
Beautiful Graphics
Low Learning Curve
Good Community (so far)

Cons:
Strike Racing Mode can be frustrating. (My recommendation: try to stay behind the leader till the last leg, that way he gets all the Thor Hammers)
Sound sometimes cuts out during gameplay because of lag.
