16 Little-Known Gaming Stats That’ll Blow Your Mind
14. The Largest Open World In A Console Game Is Over 5,560 Square Miles
A largely forgotten relic of 2009, Fuel was a very ambitious racing title set in a world ravaged by climate change and off-road racers. Though it didn't really master driving mechanics in the same way DiRT or GRID did, Fuel's game design was absolutely gorgeous and the world itself was incredible. If you fancy a virtual road-trip with your buddies, you could do a lot worse than right here. Be warned though, you're probably going to want to stock up on a lot of supplies beforehand - it's rough out there on the plains!
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
