I'm hoping Ridge Racer Unbounded will contain all the motoring mayhem that I crave. Although the full game's most interesting component may be its Trackmania style building options, the demo is just a single race as far as I know.

One of my pet peeves.Anyway, Ridge Racer "Unbounded" will be arriving on PC some time in 2012. In the meantime you can look at the latest teaser trailer, below. It shows a…
