Almost forgot about Mafia 2! The first mafia is one of my all time favourite games except that one mission :) So definately I'll be waiting for it. GTAIV goes without saying too. I don't usually wait games so much. Whenever I feel like a new game I buy the one that suits my current mood. I try not to buy too many games so that I get a chance to play the old ones.

FPS games need the keyboard and mouse. I wonder why there is no keyboard/mouse packages for consoles or the ability to use any usb keyboard/mouse. Racing games on the other hand are much more fun with the pad. I've preferred PC as a gaming platform but to get a good gaming pc costs a lot more than xbox360 so when my pc got too old to play anything new I bought xbox360. I don't think the online play is so good. I really miss the keyboard when writing to other players. I know there is one, just need to buy it. I also miss the global chat which almost all pc games have. It's so much easier than just to press a key and write your message and everybody sees it than with xbox where you have to select a friend, select message, select text, write it, select send... blaa blaa blaa. There might be a quicker way but I don't know it. Voice is also very bad since I can't use my own headset with it and when I plug in the xbox headset the other audio is still on my own headset...who idiot invented that feature. Overall, I'm happy playing single player games with xbox but the user interface and the things mentioned above brings the online experience down a lot.

umm...trainer?

The xbox TDU Central Club could use some racers so I would try that. There's a subsection for it here in these forums.

Whoah! Finland is #3! When I get PGR4, we'll become number one! :)

Yeah, still just the two of us but what the hell...let's do it anyway. What times (in GMT) would be good for you KTF67?

A bit unfocused. Don't know if you wanted it like that. What I can see looks nice.

One month wait is nothing compared to Valve who has pushed waiting to whole new standards :) Atari should've used the same method too. "when is x coming?" "soon" :)

Great images! Good work there, can't wait to see more of those.

You can invite anyone you want I guess. It's not like we have too many participating :) We'll have hard time planning the timetable due to our timezones but let's see what we can come up with.

Where are you xbox players? There's no point organizing anything for just 2 players and I'm not even sure about how I can participate. And I thought xbox was a popular platform :)

Sorry for my extensive double posting but I've been reading some wheel reviews and I'm changing my opinion. I think the Microsoft's wheel is the best choice. It cost's a bit more and is not available until sometime january 2008 but what I've been reading it's the best wheel. Or does anyone have any other recommendation?

Now that I search netstores some more I see that there are no choices left. It's either the Logitech DriveFX or Microsoft's own wheel. Logitech's costs 50 euro's less than Microsoft's and Microsoft's isn't available until january. Does anyone have any experience with the Logitech's wheel? I'll go and try it at the store and if it feels ok I think I'll end up with that one.

Quick google search found this for me. If I remember correctly this was also in the store: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/xbox_360/devices/299&cl=us,en

hmm..I'm sure I saw some not MS wheels for XBOX360 which stated that they had FFB. I have to go back and check that.

I'm thinking of buying a racing wheel. I'm already really exited cause driving with a pad just isn't enough. I was looking different wheels today and I could use your opinions. One thing I want is a real gear switcher. F1 style pads for switching gears are alright too if some wheel has those. And pedals of course. So what wheels do you recommend? Price should be about the same than the Microsoft's own XBOX360 wheel.

And what about Finland :) I guess they'll think about it at 2010...

I wouldn't say it's a MUST game. It has some good ideas in it but nothing so special. I haven't completed the game (about 60% done) so I don't know if it gets a whole lot better in the end. I've read it's a short game, about 8-10 hours of gameplay. I'm pretty bored already at it. It started to repeat itself very fast. - Enemies spotted - take cover - shooting from the cover - enemies dead - repeat this after next corner I don't know if I ever want to finish the game, maybe when I want to play a shooter and don't have anything else at hand. So far I've played it like 1-2 hours at a time. After that it gets boring for me. Graphics are nice although the part where I am in the game is underground which is nothing compared to the beginning of the game. The game features also some random scenes like driving a "car" which are very welcome after the boring basic gameplay. Now that you can get it very cheap on sale you should buy it. It's above average and definately worth the money nowadays. I haven't tried the multiplayer but what I've read the chainsaw attachment of the basic rifle is very dominating.

My xbox is a lot faster :) Especially the dashboard windows during a game now come a lot faster than before. Overall all dashboard animations happen more smoothly.

Makes me wanna buy the game even more. I guessed it would be just my kind of game but what Stinger wrote it would be almost perfect for me :) Too bad forza 2 arrived yesterday so I'm tied to that for a while...

Don't really have a favourite car for anything. I love to drive all the cars and I usually change cars very often. I love to drive lambos so let's say gallardo for this one.

Nice list. Too bad I sold all my old xbox games along with the console itself.

Oh...that must be nice experience :) This game is already on my wanted list but I guess I'll wait a while before I get it and play my previous games first.

Great pics! Can't wait to play Forza 2 myself.

That would be great if it would be integrated to the rest of the site and to our user accounts here in forums.
