  Looking for Car simulator? Cant go wrong with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

  

  I have to be honest, gaming is not my 2nd hobby. No, actually its my 3rd. The 1st you guessed it, its football/soccer and my 3rd hobby is.....cars; I am a car nut. I prefer the curves of a car than a women...there.. I said it.

  

  GT series is car lover's heaven, GT 5 Prologue is no exception.This is game where you really need to know your physics......I am not joking. After playing arcade racing like NFS over the years, I got greeted with the harsh reality of GT in my first corner...thats right.... I went straight and crashed so bad that it would have no doubt appeared in World's Wildesh Crash Videos. The best way to play the game is, forget about every car game you played.....and picture that you are in the driver's seat.( Damn, I really need to buy the Logitech Steering wheel). You need to know the fundamentals like weight shifting, drivetrain, traction control, moderation in acceleration and breaking, etc. To put it in simple terms, its as real as it gets. The game even featured in lots of motor-shows like the famous BBC's Top Gear.

  If you are looking to drive the exotic Ferrari, the ever sexy Audi, but don't have half 2 million bucks to spare....well....why not fork 40$ instead?

  Come October, to create a hole in my pocket

  

  With so many top quality games releases starting this October 21, with limited budget (I am a student, what u expect?), I think I can only buy 3 games this year, yeah thats right, 3. The games I want are Far Cry 2, Resistance 2, LBP, FIFA 09 and Fallout 3. I need to make some tough sacrifices.

  Earlier this year, I made up my mind on buying FIFA 09, Little Big Planet, Resistance 2. But after seeing some new demos and getting some new info, I am more leaned towards Far Cry 2 instead of Resistance 2. Not only Far Cry 2 looks the most less linear FPS on the market by a hefty margin (not even the plot is linear), but the game is breathtaking beautiful, I still cant understand how the graphics is pretty much on par with the PC version. Also the map editor looks very simple, yet powerful; I am thinking of creating my dream paradise with that. I just hope the game has splitscreen .

  Damn...so many choices...so little money. It sucks!
