I put in an nVIDIA GeForce FX5500 256MB RAM video card in my PC a few months ago and since then my gaming experience has shot up greatly in quality. I can finally play games at my native resolution of 1280 x 1024 and one game that really kicks ass now is Need For Speed: Underground.
Yes, I realize the game is like 4 years old but back when I bought it 4 years ago it still lagged on 800 x 600 resolution and low quality graphics so I was really unsatisfied and didn’t feel like playing the game at the time. But when I looked through my box of computer games a few days ago and decided to try out this title again I was amazed with the results and just how fun the game is when running at max graphics.
Now reviewing the game would be pointless since it’s been out for years and a quick Google search would return a lot of results, therefore I’m just going to leave you with a screenshot I took a few minutes ago while playing. I’m somewhere like 25% done with the game after playing it for 2.5 days.
And of course let me remind you that I’m not gay and I don’t play the game with my keyboard but rather with a PS2 controller hooked up to my PC. I used to have a steering wheel but the drivers only exist for Windows 2000 and older so I had to throw it away but the game pad works just fine and is incomparable to the keyboard.
