F1 is very good (if you are into F1) other than that you will have to wait till next April for the daddy - GT - HD 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
You can down load a demo/teaser featuring an 111R and 599 etc - good fun for a couple of hours
Other game to watch out for is Grand Theft Auto - trailer looks like they have done NY 8) Should be amazing!

Wish my otherhalf would get me one :(

I love gaming, had the PS3 since launch, but much prefer my 360...Motorstorm is good, F1 is so so - the system really needs feedback in the pad - its so light and flimsy.
Lotus Elise 111R - Chrome Orange, can't drive it for sh*t spec!
Jaguar XKR 4.0 Supercharged, neglected spec. SOLD!
7 seater Renault Grand Scenic 57 plate, 1.9 DCI <B>(Boring as feck spec)</B>
Forde Freda Campervan! :D

I thought GT HD was the free download? it's GT 5 you'll have to wait for?


Oh, and GTA IV will indeed be amazing ;) :lol:

i can recommend loads of great games!

(but all on the 360 ;))

Seriously tho, Forza 2 is very good, esp if you geek it up to the max like myself and join an online racing league, GTR is also coming out on it shortly which is a fantastic racing series :)

Will get a PS3 when GT5 comes out, but considering that its not out in Japan till July 2008 im pretty sure we wont see it here till early 2009 :(

Don't hold your breath :) Something tells me this might be the end of the PS line of consoles. Call me a pessimist but mark my words!

PS3 has been selling like hotcakes since they slashed the price in Japan, sure the installed user base is still pretty low but a soon as they start slashing the price in the US and Treasure Island (sorry i mean Europe), and make the manufacturing more cost effective and cheaper it will gradually grab a foothold, i don't think they can expect to emulate the success of the ps2 and i personally hope the 360 gives it a damn good run for its money, but i cant see it dying out, well not just yet anyway :)

On PC the caterham mod for GTR2 is superb :D Great fun ripping round Knockhill, Brands Hatch, Oulton etc.

I have a Logitech G25 wheel and have to say that this is the closest I have tried yet to real driving and I tried a few including the very good Grand Prix Legends (GPL)
