Homeworld. Its graphics are starting to look like a faux-retro game now and it plays pretty dang well.

Horizon seems to be moving away from the sim-iness. Drifting seemed very arcade-like, and you get all sorts of accolades for doing things like taking out fences and shrubberies.

If you're more of a fan of Criterion games, and you try Horizon, you'll probably like it more than you would like Forza 4.

One thing about Horizon though - it will probably have the livery editor of previous Forza games. That's always pretty nice.

I've always wondered why they call petrol gas over there. It would make huge sense if it were actually a gas, but it's a liquid. Also even if there is a perfectly good reason to call it gas, wouldn't it get confusing sometimes when trying to differentiate between the gas used in your hob and the gas used in your car? Say you wanted a can of gas. Now, do you mean you want a petrol can, or a gas can?

I'm all for different cultures and language evolution, you want to remove the u from colour that's cool bro I get you, there be logic thar! I just don't understand this particular difference, lol.

Gas is short for gasoline.

I think like many languages, the definition of what is being used has to come from the context, but in the case of gas in a "hob" we typically say propane, which I think most Americans would understand is a fossil fuel used to power portable stoves or barbecues.

If someone told me they had a gas-powered stove at home, I would understand from the context that it would probably be a natural gas stove.

Wheat bread, because along with carbs it provides valuable vitamins and minerals that may be hard to find on an island. 
 
Meat is a hard choice though. Would have to be something that won't kill me in the long run. I may have to go with a pork, like ham.

That's sorta disturbing how much one of the Bulletstorm characters looks like me.

@oysteinBrenne:  Probably Amnesia. The Darkness had a lot of places where it was like, "Ah yeah, we're so fucking dark man! Check this out!"
 
Yes, I did beat the game, and I rather enjoyed it.
 
 But you realize you're arguing over something that's entirely subjective, right?

There is a game called, The Darkness. It's kinda dark.
 
Also there's a sweet band called The Darkness. They aren't dark at all.
