FROM THE ARTICLE
If there’s a single constant in the videogame industry, it’s that one game gets mentioned during any argument about censorship. Or tastelessness. Or violence. Perhaps Britain’s most notorious gaming son, Carmageddon is a game that – 11 years since its launch – has gained quite the reputation. Everyone remembers the headlines. But Carmageddon warrants remembering for something more than just selling newspapers.“Carmageddon came from playing racing games for years and getting fed up with racing,” begins Stainless Games co-founder and lead programmer Patrick Buckland. “And we always ended up just turning the car around and ramming the other cars out of the way. So why not make a game about that?”
