What are we doing to the children?

Please, won't somebody think of the children?!

Now I've gotten that out of my system, on with tonight's show... erm, blog.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Great cars, so-so game. It was fun for the first few races really, then I realised that I couldn't change the cars - they look and drive just like road cars, which probably fills a niche. Sadly I'm not a part of that little world. Probably spoiled by the NFS range of games.

This is why it's good that I also got NFS Shift. Would have to be the most fun I have had racing all year, which is indeed a challenge being this close to the end of 2009. It all comes down to the racing line. That's right, following the damn green arrows as they arc away to the corners where they change to an alarming red (Brake you idiot! Brake!!). The cool thing is that if you stick to the arrows like that VD you picked up at that party, you get points for it. Lots and lots of Driver upgrading points. It also adds to your "precision" driving skill. Drive like your nan, avoid crashing into other cars and follow that line to be precise. If you go the other way, you are deemed "aggressive". That's driving into other cars, spinning them out of control into various walls and drafting your way into powerful corner slides (as opposed to drifting) for maximum aggressiveness.

So far, I've strangely been on the nanna track. Gotta stop trying to stick to that line and take some bastards out. Take one for the team!! Sorry readers, bed is calling and tomorrow is a great day for racing - on the Xbox, not the road.
