Well, I am back into racing games again
And that is a good thing.
I have always dibble dabbled in the racing genre, but I haven't really played a racing game in a long while. The last racing game that held my attention was Gran Tourismo 4. Countless hours were spent in my dorm room finishing races, upgrading cars, and unlocking new challenges. It looks like I am about to open up that can o' worms again. The only problem is that this time I don't have 2 roommates to help me play.
Forza 3 is just awesome. It is well made, complete, and fun to play. 400 cars, tons of tracks, tons of customizability and limitless possibilities online. I love this game. I am looking forward to being addicted again. I can definitely see myself sinking 40 to 50 hours in this game. Last night, I spent about 2 hours making my first design to sell online. (I have sold 2 as of writing this).
The storefront is where you can sell your in game creations to other Forza players. It is filled with all sorts of neat designs, to accurate representations of real life race cars. Someone took the time to desgin the Allitalia '77 racing colors for the Lancia Stratos team. That is awesome. The community for this game is awesome.
The game really reminds me a lot of one of my favorite racers, Trackmania. This game, of course, is a sim, where Trackmania is an arcade racer, but the parallels are there. A deep community, tons of user created content, and a supportive developer. All good things.
In conclusion, I can kiss my life goodbye.
