Grid and Oblivion for PS3. Also have the last Nascar game which like all nascar games was a fail, and MGS4 which was good when you played, but there are too many cut scenes. I also have that star wars game and it was gay. I really like Grid and Oblivion though. Grid is a good racing game with good multiplayer abilities, and Oblivion is just a free environment and you can kinda do whatever. Go by the story or just kill.

I haven't been playing by the story. Just been breaking into stores, killing random people and whatnot. The PC one is a little better than the one for the PS3 because of an enhanced HAVOK code, and other mods that are unavailable on the PS3.

The "Nascar Racing" series made by Papyrus/Sierra for PC was an amazing game. Probably the most realistic simulation of a race car made to date. Unfortunately EA sports bought the licensing for NASCAR and put Papyrus out of business. The game was so popular that it has been out of production for I'd say about 8 years now and there are still people playing it right now, releasing new mods and versions of the game. The unfortunate thing about it is the fact that if you didn't buy the game while it was still being made it's nearly impossible to find it now.. EA sports has never made a good NASCAR game, and probably never will, I really wish that they would just stick to stick & ball games.. Anyway, enough ranting about that..

I really haven't been playing my 360 much lately, but when I do it's usually for Forza 2. But I did just pick up NFS Carbon out of the Blockbuster bargain bin a couple of days ago for like $4.00.. So, I'll probably play that a little before too long.

Man, I sold my NR2003 before it got all popular. I didn't know about the mods until like two years after I sold it. But anyway, I heard that those servers are being sold and shut down here in a few months anyway. I'm sure some people will buy servers just for that game, but I don't know how many will still be up and running. But for racing sims, The Sim Factory who partnered in the formation of rFactor came out with ARCA Sim Racing '08 that is a very good simulator. I haven't played it in a while because my computer couldn't handle the updates at the time but when I played it was the most realistic sim I've ever encountered. But yeah, ever since EA bought out the licensing from Seirra/Papyrus, nascar sims have been a massive failure. I'm surprised they haven't shut that entire operation down yet. Oh, and EA also bought BioWare, so expect all of the new BioWare games to suck too.

Oh, trust me they will keep NR2k3 alive. They just released a massive mod for it not to terribly long ago, there are all of the Truck series, Modified series, hooters pro cup, arca, late models etc etc. I can't remember which one (sim factory or rFactor) but I believe that one of those two were actually formed during NR2k3's downfall as part of "Project Wildfire" and developed the CTS/Bush mods along with part of the Modified series as well. Believe it or not, the game was/is so popular that Daler Jr. and Martin Truex Jr. raced in weekly series online on the SRN (Sim Racing Network) I can actually say that I have raced online with Dale Jr. @ Daytona during the hayday of NR2k3 that was a cool deal.

Well, neither of us "won." I'm trying to remember who sponsored the deal, but this was an annual event with big money on the line. It was the best of the best, we're talking guys that had $3-5,000 TSW (Thomas Super Wheel) steering wheels/ pedals and Shifters, even guys with full race cage setups. Compared to my $300.00 TSW2 Wheel/Pedal setup, I was pretty outdone.. LOL! It was insanity.

I actually don't think that either Jr. or I made it to the final event. As far as the qualifying events, I'd say that Jr. and I were about the same average, he beat me a time or two and I beat him a time or two. (It was Daytona, so the draft plays a huge part.) Either way it was fun as hell.

I've raced with Dale in the ARCA game too, just after it released we were racing a charity event for the VJG. And I know what you were talking about WNRacing, it was rFactor that had those mods. But it was too buggy, and still is I hear. ARCA Sim Racing '08 was fun when I was updated, but my computer doesn't recognize the auto-updater so I can't really do much. But all in all it's a great game. Runs smooth, good graphics, amazing physics...it's really the whole deal. And they're planning on releasing nascar, and other touring mods sometime in the near future.

I've been playing the new madden non stop!!! I never get tired of football. They have this new thing for 2009 called madden moments where they take a play from last season and you try to re create it or change it that's pretty cool. I'm stuck on the punt return by devon hester for a touchdown. I can't get past it!!!

PC games here, Just bought "Race 07" which is just a better version of GTR, and GTR 2. Ok game for 9 bucks, Still toying around with "Grid" but that's a very frustrating game to say the least. I'm still racing NFS PS, when I just get bored. Haven't played any of my nascar games since I got NFS MW. LOL. Waiting for NFS undercover to come out in Nov.. I might get myself a nice Golf game though, maybe Tiger Woods newest? EA. Or just Plug in my NHRA Gold and run some 1/4 mile races..

I wasn't a big fan of the first Fable game, didn't know they were coming out with another one.

How does the Socom series compare to the old Conflict series? I used to be addicted to the Conflict games on the PS2, and have been interested in Socom but have never tried it.
