GameRanger has rescued Race Driver: GRID - known as just GRID in North America - from online oblivion after the game had been stricken from official servers a few days ago. The PC online gaming service will now host the game for those players still enjoying the racer.
This is one of many games - over 600, in fact - that GameRanger has kept the online gaming alive for, most recently rescuing Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2008 and The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-Earth. They also service newer games like Borderlands and Demigod.
The Western Australian company solves router and firewall network problems automatically, making it simple to play online with friends. GameRanger now has over 1.7 million members. GameRanger runs on Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 and is available as a free download from the official site here.
As for PlayStation 3 GRID fans - sorry. Still no way to play online for now.
