thank god someone posted about computer games!!!
yeah I have truck loads of them, but prefer xbox.. (chipped mine you)! some of the better games I think are.. any need for speed, although underground is not as clear on the xbox liked doom3, civ 4 looked ok, but did not play it long. any shoot em up game, CS, BF1942, One xbox title that surprised me was call of duty finest hour, man that was hard as.. another one that I really enjoyed was mx vs atv unleashed, love those quads.. dont know to many drifting games at the moment.. sorry.. but am interested in whats being played/enjoyed |

MotoGP 06 is not 'spectacular' but it IS a really good game.. they rushed it out a bit so there's definitely some areas of it you go "that's so NOT next gen".. but over all it's an impressive title and keeps us entertained for hours.. the online and systemlink play is what saved it. Main issues are "screen-tearing" when it drops it's framerate, pixelation issues on shadows, and a rushed background (flat sprite people in the stands, low res textures, etc).. BUT.. once you're racing, you don't notice ANY of this and it's a lot of fun
![]() These were just taken aiming my phone at the screen: ![]() ![]() The new game you might've heard about COULD have been Testdrive Unlimited? Not just a bike game but it does have bikes in it and it looks friggin awesome.. I only know of Xbox360 stuff really so could also be a bike game on another platform. |

you name it iv probly played it, so i wont bother listing games, but if you want to play so realistic racing games forget about that need for speed crap. Try 'Live for speed'. 'gt legends'. is also good if you like old cars from the 60's and 70's.

On the 360 condemned is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Creepy, brutal and generally hair raising events.
I am haning out to play the new hitman. The bank manager says I can't have anymore more money until I donate a kidney to him (he doesn't need it yet, but is planning on having an alcohol problem in the near future) Also, have been cracking on with DOOM 3 spec-edition on the xBox, brilliant fun as you get Ultimate Doom and DOOM:II |

if you liked Half-Life 2 try Half-Life 2 Episode 1, it's $30 and gives you another 5 chapters to play.
Need for Speed Underground 2 is about the best available as far as drifting goes but as for realistic drifting, not really sure if there is anything available in that way.

Drifting wise Forza would probably be up the top once you read some of the online tutorials on how to tweak the car's settings to set it up for drifting..
Eg: http://forzacentral.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3462 http://faqs.ign.com/articles/631/631022p1.html For some arcade drifting just get Riiiiiiiiiiidge Racer on X360 :P |

The Half-life mod Natural Selection beats CS hands down.

Grand Prix Legends Nascar Racing 2003 Favourites of mine in the past were.. Operation Flashpoint <- possibly the greatest FPS ever created. I lost interest in gaming after finishing OF... Medal of Honour - Allied assault GTA3+ And for the old schoolers.... B17 Flying Fortress

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter on Xbox Live absolutely rocks. I can't get anough of it. PGR3 was good till people stopped playing it online.
If you have a Xbox360, signup and get Live, I would have only used 10% of the time without it.

I was in the middle of playing leggo star wars. That is pretty good. My brother went and bought The Godfather yesterday. I played for a bit, and it has become really addicitve.
