Feature: From the devs of FlatOut
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. A take on Ridge Racer by the developers of FlatOut, Ridge Racer Unbounded ditched blue skies and smooth racing line for muddy browns and a driving system that rewarded you for destroying things.

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. It's downloading right now but my internet connection seems to be ailing slightly and is barely capable of propelling these words into your face, never…

Unbounded? Really? Is that even a word? I suppose language matters not a jot to muscle cars. What they care about is getting somewhere quickly. They hate to be late. Me too, frankly. 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…
