Everybody knows about Ridge Racer V, but that wasn't the only racing game Namco delivered on day one for the PlayStation 2. No stranger to racing on two wheels as well as four, Namco also introduced the first of four MotoGP games that established a high bar of quality, inspired by the world's premier motorcycle racing championship and taking full advantage of Sony's next-gen hardware. In this episode, Adam, Andrew, and Paul discuss all four entries on the platform, their lesser-known beginnings in an earlier arcade game, and the forgotten PSP port that's secretly one of the handheld's best racers.

Intro song: "Inner Attack" from 500GP and MotoGP. Outro song: "Result" from MotoGP (PSP).
