    Great news! I've been having a blast with Grid lately, especially the demolition derby track online!

      Oh, and please include split-screen. I'm not sure if they realize how stupid it is to release a racing game without split-screen?

        Do you have any idea how hard rendering twice the detail is? Racing games aren't much fun at 15fps.

          Cut back the graphics, duh. How do you think most games do split-screen, they have to sacrifice the graphics a bit. Which I wouldn't mind.

            Sure, it's that easy, of course. I take it you're a games programmer then?

            Seriously, widescreen is nice but totally not worth it these days for all but the simplest games.
