![]() ![]() Developer Stainless Software went rather low-key for a while, quietly working on some of the excellent Xbox Live Arcade updates of Atari classics and three different versions of Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers, but now it's back doing what it clearly loves: hurling heavyweight cars around vast, open arenas and flattening pedestrians into a bloody pulp in the process. The series has had its ups and downs since its original installment, with an excellent sequel (and a decent, but not quite as good second sequel) on PC as well as some truly dreadful console spinoffs. My Carmageddon tips book originally graced the front cover of UK PC gaming magazine PC Zone and was subsequently bundled in the Virgin Megastores special edition Christmas bundle of Carmageddon and its Splat Pack expansion, and can, much to my delight, still be read today in PDF format thanks to GOG.com's inclusion of it in its recent rerelease. Not only was it an extremely addictive, highly playable game that proved the PC more than had what it took to take on consoles in the arcade racing stakes, it was also one of the earliest games I ever wrote about professionally. It's not an exaggeration to say that I consider the original Carmageddon to be one of the defining experiences of my gaming career. ![]()
