Evening Reading

Having played both Gran Turismo 5 and Forza 3 now, I wish I could combine both games into a glorious amalgamation of racing goodness. If I could take the career progression, damage, UI, online, customization, and physics of Forza 3 and combine it with the car count, premium car quality, and content variety of Gran Turismo 5... best racing game of all time.

By the way, in this imagined game, all of the 1,500 cars have cockpit views.

    Lets talk about video games, instead of other stupid, inane bullshit like stripper threads and coke threads.

              I'm bought retail too. I was looking at some of the DLC, and I'm not sure how you buy the DLC without Steam.
              I should have just bought during the Steam sale =/

          I think mine just did! It took me having to email customer support since buying it with paypal doesn't create an account, and you can't create one unless you buy something.. sounds like a bad system though.

      DiRT 2

      I picked it up during the steam sale, well worth the $5 so far. I haven't played a Colin McRae game since the original Xbox days, so its nice to be back. But I haven't seen too many actual rally courses yet. I love having someone telling me the turns of the courses!

      Anyone try it online lately? I haven't jumped in...only up to about level 9 in the game.

        Great game. I got it when it came out last year with a videocard coupon, and it's really polished. The menu interface is one of the only drawbacks, along with some bad voice acting.

        • reply
          December 2, 2010 7:50 PM

          Yeah, are all of the people you become "friends" with, real actual drivers? Because the voice-acting tells me yes, yes they are.

          Also...Dave Mirra...is it the same BMX guy? Weird.

        It's a lot of fun. I tried online once but got pretty dominated. I love the rally events as well, I ended up just running around only doing Rally and Trailblazer events.

      I just finished Alan Wake and am about to start on it's DLC. I started off the game super impressed, but by the end I was very ambivalent. I think it was the fact that there was too much combat and it made searching the levels difficult, leading to frustration. Plus there were a couple times I meant to go check something out in a level but was prevented due to cutscenes triggering or drops that I couldn't climb back up plus checkpoints :(

      Also about to start Assassin's Creed 2, all this talk of ASSBRO has got me wanting to play it.

      I'm about to plug back in my HDMI xbox, replacing my older component-only xbox. I can enable Dolby Digital 5.1 (or whatever) sound now that I'm using HDMI again, and I want to do a before/after test to see if I can tell the difference.

      Does anyone know of a game/song/movie that I can use for that sort of thing? I wish the 360 had a built-in utility for that sort of thing.

      I've been playing RDR and enjoying it. I opened up the town of Blackwater and have done a handful of missions. I feel like I'm running out of steam. I want to finish the game, but it seems like a lot of effort all of a sudden, for some reason.

      Starting MGS4 for the first time. The gameplay feels like it's Liquid schizophrenic. Like I can't decide whether I'm playing a Third-Person Shooter or a Stealth game. Not that this is bad, it just feels rather odd. Maybe I'll fall into it with time.

      I'm playing through AvP3 (I refuse to only call it Aliens vs Predator), and I really don't get why people hated on it so much back when it dropped. Yes, the multiplayer was a wasted opportunity, but I'm finding the SP campaign really enjoyable, especially with the ability to switch species mid campaign.
