9 Best Driving Games For Girls
We list nine of the best driving games for girls to help you prove you have what it takes when you get into the virtual driving seat! DiRT 4 Drift Hunters Angry Birds Go! Real Racing 3 Trackmania Turbo Rocket League Forza Horizon 3 Mario Kart 8 We all know that women can be just as talented as men can when it comes to being behind the wheel; Michèle Mouton won 162 stages in the World Rally Championship whilst Sabine Schmitz frequently still puts men to shame. What do I need to get started? We have tried to keep the list as varied as possible so that you can choose whatever platform best suits your needs. Whether you have an old SNES lying around in the loft, a smartphone, a gaming console or perhaps a quick blast your boyfriends high-end PC with a gaming rig while he’s out – the racetrack is ready and waiting whenever you are ready to take a moment to have fun or beat your lap times! 9 – DiRT 4 Platform: Xbox One, PS4, PC If you are hoping to become the next Michèle Mouton then the DiRT series is undoubtedly one you need to try. We have opted for the ‘arcade’ style alternative here but should you feel brave enough to take on the simulator then make sure you also try DiRT Rally. DiRT 4 covers all sorts of off-road disciplines, not purely rallying, and offers a huge amount of variety for girly thrill-seekers to get their fix! DiRT 4 review Polygon’s Owen S. Good delivered his verdict on the game: “Experienced, novice, casual, committed, car buff, adrenaline junkie or anything in between, Dirt 4 has a sweet spot for everyone and it takes no time to find it. The game’s most profound strength is the unlimited variety and replayability offered by a simple course creation tool, which is well suited to rally racing’s basic appeal: hurtling into something new and unknown with nerve, skill and flat-out speed.” “I’ve never been more charmed by a racing video game and I could not recommend any other more than Dirt 4, to anyone of any ability. Dirt 4 is a joy. When Jen Horsey, one of two English-language co-drivers, cheerfully calls out “and left five over crest,” it’s a bugle call. I’m on the gas with supreme confidence, rocketing into a gold medallion sunset, holding tight to the moment in one of the great summertime video games of the past decade.” Read the full DiRT 4 review 8 – Drift Hunters Platform(s): PC, Android, iOS If you want to get some practice in while you’re on the move or when you’ve got a few spare moments then Drift Hunters is a great opportunity to quickly learn car control for those secret practice sessions your boyfriend doesn’t need to know about! Since it is available free on mobile and as a completely free ‘flash’ game on PC, it is the perfect game to play whether you’re on…

5 Best PS4 Driving Games of 2017
We uncover the five best PS4 driving games of 2017. Each game includes a video, our comments and a professional review. Prepare to give those thumbs a workout! What do I need to get started? Console gaming is the most convenient plug-and-play solution to hitting the track and delivering you straight into the action. Firstly, you would of course need to purchase or own a PS4 along with any modern TV capable of running HDMI. You then need to decide whether you are likely to play single player, online or split-screen multiplayer, if you intend to play split-screen then remember to invest in a second controller! The positives with console gaming is that you do not need to worry about upgrading for new games; if it is released for your console then you can guarantee it will run smoothly. We feel that racing games are best on a steering wheel and pedal setup, which can be purchased very reasonably at the lower end of the market such as the Logitech G29, right through to ultra-realistic, yet expensive, brands such as Fanatec. A recommended cheaper alternative is to use the joypad that came with your console as these often good enough for basic racing. Thankfully, after testing, we have managed to get away without any scraped knuckles or oil stains to bring you our list of the 5 Best PS4 Driving Games of 2017. 5 – Trackmania Turbo If it’s fun and entertainment you’re looking for then Trackmania Turbo is the perfect thrill-ride for gamers who like some insanity added to the mix in their racing games. After being a PC-only game for quite some time, console users are now able to join in the fun with this latest edition! Those of you who are new to the series, it’s a fantastic alternative to serious sim racing, which will undoubtedly provide you and your friends with hours of entertainment. Trackmania Turbo review Gamespot’s Jason D’Aprile went thrillseeking to deliver his verdict: “Trackmania Turbo, has hit the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and the result is as fun as fans of the series could have hoped. The game’s unique focus on time trial racing gives it a distinctly refreshing feel from the Forzas and Need for Speeds of the world.” “The game constantly lets you know where you stand and frequently restarting the race entirely after a mishap is a common, and necessary, tactic to stay on top. The ghostly nature of multiplayer manages to alleviate any frustration from vehicle collisions while still maintaining a constant sense of competition. This system also allows for an absurd number of players to be involved in a single online tournament–even on launch day, there were easily 70+ cars in each race.” Read the full Trackmania Turbo review 4 – F1 2017 Nothing quite matches the high-adrenaline thrill of being strapped into the seat of an F1 car, yet so few of us ever get to experience it. F1 2017 is the latest offering from Codemasters,…

7 Best Driving Games For PC
We dig deep and come up with the 7 best driving games for PC. Want to see what makes our list? Read on. It comes as no surprise that nothing quite gives the thrill of strapping yourself into the driving seat of a race car, starting your engine and pushing cars to their absolute limits. WRC 7 Project CARS 2 F1 2017 Forza Motorsport 7 DiRT Rally Forza Horizon 3 Assetto Corsa As much as most people would love to be able to do this every day, unless you have an unlimited budget and own a racetrack then chances are you are looking for the next best thing. PC gaming is arguably the closest option out there and with all sorts of gaming rigs available to emulate reality, just about anything is possible. What do I need to get started? Well, obviously a PC is the first vital step here. With the convenient ability to upgrade necessary components when required rather than buy a completely new console at each release, gamers often favour PCs. Before buying, ensure that your PC meets the minimum system requirements to save disappointment when you try to play your brand new game for the first time. We feel that racing games are best on a steering wheel and pedal setup, which can either be purchased very reasonably at the lower end of the market, right through to ultra-realistic brands such as Fanatec. A recommended cheaper alternative is to use a joypad, with many people opting to use the Xbox remote. For viewing upgrades, some people opt for a triple-monitor setup, while others push the boundaries and step into the VR opportunity, which comes at a price but offers the ultimate experience. Thankfully, after testing, we have managed to get away without any scraped knuckles or oil stains to bring you our list of the 7 Best Driving Games for PC. 7 – WRC 7 The latest official game of the World Rally Championship has arrived to compete alongside the likes of the highly acclaimed DiRT Rally and DiRT 4. Causing somewhat of an argument amongst fans of the titles, it appears to be down to personal preference as to what game best suits your loose gravel needs! This is undoubtedly a game for those who are patient and willing to perfect their skills on varied surfaces, just expect to end up in a few ditches on the road to progress! WRC 7 review Gamespot’s James Swinbanks shared his thoughts: “In a time where video games focus on making themselves pop with fancy special effects and extra side content, WRC 7 takes a more direct approach to both its presentation and gameplay. All the real-life teams, cars and sponsors are represented across the three tiers of competition; Junior WRC, WRC2 and the WRC, giving you the full gamut of options to choose from when taking on a single rally stage, an entire three day event or a full custom championship.”” “For all its minor faults and…
