    nice job on the screenshot which is clearly GRID not forza3. this is what happens when your image source is from a site called hiphopgamershow.

    Forza 3 is nice. The handling of the car is incredible. Your car isn't all over the road like in Grid and NFS Shift. You have tight controls. It actually feels like an arcade racer, like Outrun coast to coast, but without the constant drifting.

    I love this time a year, demo's are thick and fast, game reviews are pooring in and it's nearly time to get my hands on the games I have been slavering over for a long time.

    I have 4 demo's on the download as we speak.

    @Mike Newlad: lol "thick and fast".

    It's crazy the amount of games coming out in the next few months. The bad thing about having such varied taste in games is that I like too many games. I have about $800 worth of games I want to get spread out across 3 systems, and that's only until Jan. 1st.

    I'm screwed. But yeah, it's a good time of year.

    Just played the Brutal Legend PS3 demo. It's good stuff, but just like every Tim Schafer game, the reason I want to play the full game isn't necessarily the gameplay.

    Speaking of Live, did anyone else suddenly get a bunch of MS points today with no explanation e-mail?

    I know I was supposed to get 800 from the summer of arcade deal.....is that what this is? I got more than 800 added though. So strange. I had roughly 600 points in there, waiting for the L4D add-on, now I have over 1600. So I got about a 1000 points added, not 800.

    Anyone else receive mystery points? I don't know if this is a mistake or not. Maybe I should spend them really fast.

    I really have no interest in Brutal Legend as I dislike Jack Black for the most part and I find the whole current "metal fixation" that people have to be annoying (seriously? metal's even trendy now?), but I'll still try the game out. Schafer's got a friend in me.

    I don't like realistic driving sims much either but hey, I'll give Forza 3 a shot. Always a chance I'll find something I like in it.

    @Ueziel: The Forza demo is pretty amazing. I've gotten into a number of wrecks, and the damage model definitely looks to be using your speed and environment to determine what kind of collision damage the car suffers. The racing game itself looks good for the most part, but I, too, am more fond of arcade racing titles, and I'm not really in position to determine the sim-y-ness of the title.

    If anyone's wondering, the demo allows you to drive the following:

    2009 MINI John Cooper Works
    2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR
    2009 Ferrari California
    2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro
    2007 Porsche #80 Flying Lizard 911 GT3-RSR

    You race against other car models as well, but I really can't tell what from what. I wish the demo included the paint editor which is my chief incentive in getting the game. The presentation is slick and the graphics are incredible, I just wish the dumbed down "easy" options made the game play more like Daytona and less like Real Driving For Dummies. My only gripe is the music really, but the 360's custom soundtrack can fix that.

    It also remains to be seen how the rewind feature will be implemented in the full game, but I still think it's a stupid (albeit well done) addition for a sim game. What's the point of time challenges and leaderboards when you give everyone the tool to erase their mistakes? Hopefully, it'll be limited to modes which won't impact high scores and the like.
