"How do you do fellow kids?"

The reason that great meme starring Steve Buscemi from 30 Rock has lasted so long is because it's SO devastatingly real. How do we know this? Well... go and play Need for Speed Underground 2 (2004, Nintendo Gamecube) in 2025 and see how it makes you feel... mega old right?!?

But let's say we disregard how difficult it is to drive in the rain at night for us oldies... does NFSU2 (the official cool lingo acronym) actually hold up today or has it drifted from relevance?

On the other side of the central reservation we have a game that was announced in the same year that NFSU2 was released. Gran Turismo (2009, PSP) took a long time to come to fruition but why did it take the GT PSP port an age to get over the line and does it make it onto the podium of great PSP racers?

Finally, we round off #DryveJanuary with a look in the rear view mirror to see which are the best/worst racing games we've played this month. Enjoy the pod!
