Yeah, it comes out on the 18th. Dunno when the PC version is coming out though.
I’d like a casual racing game. Horizon’s demo was alright and hopefully once the full game is released, the announcers can be cut off. Horizon’s car selection is still going to be a factor for me, but from what I’ve seen, it likely won’t be an issue.
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed looks nice. Never really played the predecessor title, but I’m loving the menu screens and sense of speed. A demo release wouldn’t hurt.
I had GT3, GT4 and Forza 3. Although I enjoyed the Gran Turismo series, there was one thing that always irked the shit out of me about those games… and that was the game paid so much attention to detail in many areas except one which I felt was literally going to be the difference between me getting Forza 3 and GT5. I remember a long time ago when I was working at Target in the electronic’s department, we had an XBox on display and it had Forza 2 on it and just hearing it being played sucked me into it. This is what the GT series was lacking for me.

It matters because I’m a car guy… so I wound up getting Forza 3 + XBOX 360 (opposed to GT5 + PS3) and I was a content camper. I was disappointed how GT5’s cars still sounded like GT4s. When GT3/4 was released, I was into Civics and Integras and no ricer/JDM bullshit, let alone an open cat sounded as terrible as what the GT versions sounded like. In Forza 3, I loved the distinctions between the Ferrari 360, 430 and 458… though somehow the Aston Martin Vanquish was more convincing in the PS2 game 007: Everything or Nothing, haha. Still, I love Forza now for paying great attention to detail in the car noise area.
I used to be a beast playing Tag with a Lotus Exige in Forza 3.

New trailer.
The new NFS: Most Wanted is going on sale for $29.99 at BestBuy during black friday. Might pick it up at that price.
Edit: I think its even cheaper at Walmart or Target. Not sure which one. It’s $25 I believe.
watch a 70 year old former Le Mans 24 Hours winner playing Forza.
