Being a PS2 ex-pat, I have been looking for something to quench my Gran Turismo thirst. I've heard a lot of good things about Forza 2 (and a lot of hype) and was hoping that it could do the trick. After playing the demo for a couple of hours, here I found that F2 may be a good GT replacment. On the good side, the game looks great, the car selection is nice, and the cars are very drivable with the 360 controller. (I haven't invested in a 360 wheel yet) I really like the how the racing line hint system is dynamic and changes (color to indicate braking) based on actual car speed.

Finished GoW on casual. I only had to look up strategies 2 or 3 times and only 1 of them was really helpful. Best thing about it is my kid is afraid to play the game. Thats fine with me, I'll have GoW, he can have Halo 2. Now I'm working on misc acheivements and another run through on hardcore!

I just got this game and I'm embarrased to say its kickin my ass. I'm not stranger to shooters, although I was trained on the mouse and WASD of FPS, so from the start I'm uncomfortable using a controller. I either that or I need more practice on the A-button mechanics, which often send me running around in directions I'm not intending to go. Usually into death. I haven't even thought about online--I'm sure that would be hilarious for my opponents.

Kudos to the designers and programmers of the new site. Everything looks great and it's amazing that got so much done over one weekend. Its really modest to call this an alpha; I've seen professionally produced sites that don't look as good or work as well on release, let alone alpha or beta.

Broke 1000 with my GS. Yeah, I know its pathetic, but I haven't had the 360 very long and I don't get that much time to play so I gotta celebrate the small milestones. Thanks to Double Agent for pushing me over the edge.
