Best Driving Game

Video games and racing practically go hand in hand. After all, games let you hop in a hot car and take off at ludicrous speeds, not to mention perform maneuvers that would surely kill you (or at least scare the living daylights out of you) in real life. Wish fulfillment--it's the stuff that great video games are made of. This year's sprint for the checkered flag ran heavily toward more-realistic racers, resulting in a near photo finish at the end.

    The only one I've played is Motorstorm AE on PSP. It's surprisingly good. It got my vote.

    forza 3 was a complete racing sim which ticked all the boxes that made it the best racing sim in this gen, too bad it didn't have decent racing games to compete this year

    Having just finished what I wanted to in Forza 3, that game was amazing. I have spent countless hours playing it, and that's just racing too. I still play it about once a week.

    Race Pro for me, didn't try Forza and i thought DiRT 2 was so americanised it was a scandal to even associate Colin's name with it, like RE i remember when CMR games were top notch rally games, not a re-badged off-road Race Driver!!

    Have to give my support to the amazing DIRT 2.
