Outrun Europa is the game that turned me into a gamer. I've played quite a few videogames before it, but didn't care much about anything that I've tried. Usually would lose interest in under a week. An article in a local newspaper reviewing it gathered my attention. A game about high speed chases with vehicles like Porsche and Ferrari was like a dream come true for me. One day, when my father took me and my younger sister to a toy store to pick up a new game, there it was. I gasped at the sight of the game and shouted to my father "I want that one" pointing towards Outrun Europa, but my sister immediately followed with a "I want that one" as well while pointing towards a copy of The Flintstones. We exchanged "but I want that one" for a while until I gave up, turned my back to the shelf and said "just buy her game. I don't play that much anyway" and left. I was quite upset, so I left their company and started browsing the rest of the store in search for something else, but couldn't find anything that peeked my interest. From the distance I saw my father buying a game while holding my sister's hand. Despite being very disappointed, after all The Flintstones was another platformer game among many others that we already owned, I decided to give it a try. So I opened the bag and to my surprise, dad had bought Outrun Europa! From the moment I popped the cartridge inside our Master System, I got hooked. The music, the graphics and the fast and challenging driving mechanics made me keep coming back to play it. It was the first game that I didn't abandoned after one week. In fact, I've played it for many years. I struggled a lot as a kid, only managing to reach the last level once. I was 18 when I finally managed to beat it.
Ps. My sister would eventually get a copy of The Flintstones a few months later, so it worked out for everyone

F1 2012As well as the new young driver test mode, F1 2012 features a new "Champions Mode", in which the six World Champions competing in the 2012 season — Kimi Räikkönen, Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher — will be styled after traditional end-of-level video gaming bosses, with the player challenged to beat them while racing in conditions that suit each driver.
Another new mode introduced, is the "Season Challenge" mode. Feedback given to Codemasters was that players only played the game when they had a few hours to play. In response, Codemasters brought in this mode so that players could simply play for a short amount of time. In this mode the player will start as a team lower down the field, and over a ten race season the player will move teams mid-season, depending on their ability to beat rival drivers and objectives.
Codemasters also introduced "One-Shot Qualifying", whereby a player has a single lap to qualify for the race. The three stage knock out session is still an option, however the single 20 minute session is no longer available in career mode. There is no longer an option to include all three practice sessions in a race weekend, but instead only a single hour session is available.Non-fiction
