Good ol Fashioned Fun

So I really don't play too many racing games. I tend towards large over-serious single player epics (often to my own dismay). 
 
Split/Second is just fun, and I have to admit, reminded me what the hell a videogame is. 
 
After attempting to enjoy Dragon Age and Slogging my way through a bevy of Bro Shooters; this game was like theropy for me. 
 
Now, I could attempt to put this in a more acedemic fashion, but I really don't think there's a way: I like explosions. Specifically, I like what explosions do to stuff. What I didn't know (before playing this game) was that I like driving through things exploding... I like it a lot.  
 
So please, if you are feeling inundated with repetitious war games or sick of fucking elves and dwarves and old english, please try Split/Second and get yourself some theropy
