I purchased a Forza 3 & Halo 3 ODST bundle a week ago and received it this arvo, chucked FM3 in and man what a sweet car game! Graphics are awesome, great car handling feel, only downside it takes a while to load tracks etc but all is forgotten when out racing

Am in the process of putting it on the hdd now... totally forgot I could do that

I have been playing for a good 2.5hrs, done about 15 races and have modded up a 09' Ford Fiesta & 01' Mazdaspeed Familia, with the Familia being the favourite

with 287kw, it can only manage a 13.8sec 1/4 mile time, cause the bitch got no traction in 1st, 2nd or 3rd!

Also im liking how its incorparated some of the well known bodykits for the BJ into the game, like a DGM/AutoExe lip or Eurebuni/Mint Blue lip!

I had to laugh when I found out you can upgrade intake manifolds, with my initial thinking something without VICS

mkid · 06-07-2010, 07:09 PM

you find a large improvement with it on the hard drive also the disc drive will be a lot quiter because i doesent have to spin it anymore only to check if you have the game
if you play online with it this will also improve load times and framerates
but its rare to find someone playing intense games without a HDD online
theres also other things you can do too speed up load times
such as emptying the inbuilt cache and getting rid of saves you dont use anymore or movies. it all helps to speed things up
also a fast internet speed is great

F1 2010 is the game to play atm...me and mrpayner have it...i love it sooooo much...getting the G27 to go with it for christmas me thinks...

chicaboo · 14-10-2010, 01:04 PM

Marcs (

) showed me some gameplay from F1 2010 a couple weeks back. It looked pretty fancy graphics wise, but I don't think it's for me...

bourbon · 14-10-2010, 01:13 PM

its the only real true racing game...track gets grippier the longer out there...tyres wear...rain can come on halfway through a race & have to go into pit lane to change to wet tyres...you can change your downforce settings during race, also the fuel settings...

best racing game ever!!!

I have yet to play it as yet, but possibly getting it next week for my b'day

So really cant comment on if its the "best", as I still think Gran Turismo 4 is... Forza 3 comes a close 2nd for me, but as said before, will have to wait till I actually sit down and play for a couple hours

bourbon · 14-10-2010, 01:49 PM

you can though, you can just set the car up for quick set up or do a full technical setup...but i thought youd love full technical set up...

ill probably be playing it all saturday night so feel free to pop round if ya want

mkid · 14-10-2010, 02:41 PM

i watched the good game review
watch here if you want
http://www.abc.net.au/tv/goodgame/vi...1_2030&story=5
it sounds like a great race game but its only F1. which is a big let down
i prefer GT1,2,3,4 and FM1,2,3 because you can race whatever you want and there are so many classes and things that can be done

i got red dead redemption the other day which i think is one of the greatest games ever
but im a HUGE Grand Theft Auto fanboy and ive loved ever one of them
and play online most days
everyone shoukld give it a go

RustyKaos · 14-10-2010, 11:04 PM

I have been playing the new call of duty only on single player but OMG love this game.

Ghoru · 14-10-2010, 11:33 PM

so are we all halo haters here?

RustyKaos · 14-10-2010, 11:35 PM

I enjoyed all the halo games but couldn't stand the douche bags online so I only play the single player then left it all on the shelf to gather dust.

Ghoru · 14-10-2010, 11:40 PM

yeh i dont mind losing but when matchmaking gives me a team of MLG that sucks.... also i hate betrayal booting... i fmy teammate is stupid enough to walk in front of me in a tank he should be booted not me

mkid · 15-10-2010, 07:12 AM

ive played halo i just didnt like it
poor story (in my view), bad guns, terrible graphics on the first two, who names the main character master cheif???, didnt really do anything new to which they claimed that a regenerating sheild ( big woop) was the first in any game. however games like free space and other space simulators were using that idea in the early ninetys

but most of all its the people that play the games they rave and rave on about it. i went online a few times at a mates house because he told me its the best game online
all i had was some nerds screaming HACKING YOUR ACCOUNT!!!!!!! every time they shot at someone. its the most overrated game in my oppion. people will disagree with me im sure. but give me a AK47 and a RPG over a "needler" any day

Ghoru · 15-10-2010, 08:09 AM

there is another thing why do games need to be realistuic? i think there us enough violence in the world without games where you see your enemies head pop when you shoot him

mkid · 15-10-2010, 08:15 AM

games are realistic because they are a entertainment media
the same could be said for movies why are they so violent. rap music has shooting people as a promient feature. its up to the viewer to decide what they want to watch and how

Ghoru · 15-10-2010, 01:42 PM

I don't believ the problem is with the medium it's the consumer. Far too many people take these game seriously

marcs_sp20 · 15-10-2010, 01:46 PM

I find that its the same with any game online...The game makers should set it up so that the user is playing people of the same skill (like me - who plays maybe 1-2hrs a week), as this really puts me off playing someone that has a higher skill level and has advantages...
