Hello, how are you? I am fine… actually that's a lie. I'm getting over some sort of flu or something at the moment. Anyway, did you read my blog on Splinter Cell? If not, click that link, then come back and read this blog. Ok? Cool.

 

I was stuck for blog ideas, and Misa had just bought a new car so she said I should do a blog about some of my favourite vehicles from videogames. So here are some of my faves in no particular order.

 

_{Damn, look at the size of Misa's....errr.... engine.}

 

 

 The M12 LRV Warthog from the Halo series.

 

It's got a really weird steering system where you look where you want to drive. It takes a bit of getting used to. But once you get the controls down you will be pulling crazy drifts and power slides around corners and over enemy infantry. Watch out though, it's very easy to roll. Great fun for the driver or those in the passenger seats.

 

 

NRG-500 from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

 

This is the fastest bike in the game. It's great for running from cops or pulling off mad stunts. I have spent hours just cruising around the map on this bike. A lot of fun, but have fallen off a few times too.

 

 

 

Bigfoot from Monster Truck Madness

 

This game came free with my old computer back in 96. It was one of the only games I had at the time. But it was so much fun racing around in monster trucks! You did not have to stay on the track so I go off-roading all around the place driving up big hills and stuff. (type trex and turn it into a dinosaur).

 

 

BattleMechs from the MechWarrior series

 

Hell yeah! Riding around in giant robots with guns fighting other giant robots that also have guns, or squishing people. 'Nuff said.

 

 

 A-10 Thunderbolt II from Silent Thunder: A-10 Tank Killer II

 

I like flight simulators, more specifically I like simulators where I get to fly Air force planes and blow stuff up. The A-10 is one of the better planes for doing that task. It's packed full of goodies like Cluster bombs, Hydra rockets, AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, and a Gatling gun, that fires depleted uranium armour-piercing shells. Awesome!

 

 

 Maclaren F1 from Need for Speed II

 

No list would be complete without a car, so here is my favourite car from one of my favourite racing games. The Maclaren F1 is the fastest car in the game and gets to over 370kph, and was the fastest car in the 90's. Check out this vid to see it in action:

 

 

 _{lol @ 0.35.}

 

 

Now we have come to the end of my list. Remember no matter what type of vehicle you're in, whether it's your mum's Toyota, or a giant robot. Be like my girlfriend Misa Campo and always wear your seatbelt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aiiight laters.
