OT: Forza 3 is coming.... (any other closet gamers on here?)
Not really that into games any more but I still play forza 2 (the greatest driving game ever).
Forza 3 is out on October 23rd, just wondered if anyone else is gonna be ordering it in? or am I just a delinquent juvenile with my silly little video
games?

COD6!!!!
Got Colin Mcrae: Dirt 2 last night about ten past midnight and it rocks! Think I'll get bored quite soon though so prolly trade it in against
the aforementioned COD.
If it isn't broke, fix it until it is

It's great. Very stable. I'm the same height as you and large with it. Plenty of adjustment in the thing even for big 'uns. I guess
they know all too well that their target market for 100 quid's worth of steering wheel stand is going to be adults.

Found a PS2 behind the sofa looking lonely. As soon as I find Gran Turismo 4 I'll be back into games

i'm waiting for Gran Turismo 5  with al the GT Glory from before plus the likes of Nascar and WRC (More interested in the WRC aspect than
Nascar but up for any challenge!) When it comes out (supposed to december but who knows!!) i'll be getting the Logitech G25 to go with it 
Really lloking forward to COD - modern warfare 2 too!! Looks amazing. Dirt 2 looks a little X Games for me and basically an upgraded GRID - which i
already have so i wont be bothering with that- just wait for the WRC aspect in GT5!

I'd better hurry up and finish Forza 2 then!
Don't get much time to play games any more
Would like another Project Gotham as well though - any more rumours about that?
Nice setup Jubal - I'd love a G25 but don't play enough to justify the expense or space to store it!

I love Forza 2. Not fond of the endurance races and I always put heavy restrictions when hosting multiplayer, to put off all the jerks who
can't drive. Looking forward to the rewind feature. Nothing annoyed me more than being on the final lap and smashing the car, then having to
do the whole race again

that's part of the charm with forza - you actually have to be able to drive in order to make money & further your career... Gran Turismo, as
much as I loved gt2 and gt3, you could just plough into the other cars/walls of the track and end up in front without any penalties....
I've been sneaking on forza 2 at every opportunity over the last 4-6 weeks, even the missus is excited about forza 3 coming! we have multiplayer
sessions in the following formats: Regular race, chase the race, cops & robbers (I've got a fully modded volvo with police graphics).
It's gonna be epic.
Reckon it might be worthwhile creating a running list of xbox live gamertag's so we can all hook up and enjoy our silly little video games
together?

I'm not a closet gamer, I game regularly mainly Dirt, Battlefield2142 and lately left 4 dead. Can't wait for GT5, but just read a review
on GT5 for the psp.....not too good.
I'm 46 BTW but who cares

Because kits are for girls!!

Sometimes it's the only place you can be left undisturbed for long enough to play properly. I should get it all set up in the garage

Anyone playing the Forza 3 demo? The graphics are very smooth but the game play and controls are different. More of the screen shows the background
and so the track is smaller meaning you really have to concentrate. I can't make my mind up if it's an improvement in the playability?

Playing need for speed : shift at the moment, gameplay is really good and driving experience is quite realistic. Anyone else got this and fancies a
race
My gamertag is neilj37 if you want to add me.

Is there anything like the original box classic RalliSport Challenge for the 360? It was one of the most entertaining and playable games ever, used
to play it for hours with a friend when I had the old xbox hooked up to my projector. I find a lot of the modern rally games just aren't so
much fun, even though graphics etc are far better.

Forza 3 has now been despatched
Got it from the Game website for £35, they weren't sure on the exact price in their shop but wanted £45! The website says that if there's
any doubt over delivery they'll send it special delivery, guaranteed on the doorstep for release date. Woo hoo.

Brrmmm, brrmmm! I think it's because of the postal strikes and wanting to get the games out on time.
TBH I've been playing it a bit now and it's much like a new VW Golf. A bit shinier than the last one but not very different at all.
