Virtual Le Mans

  Thanks to Porsche, Microsoft and the ACO (Automobile Club de l’Ouest) there will be not one, but two Le Mans 24-hour races this year, and they will both be run at exactly the same time. How? Well, one of them is virtual. Simultaneous to the actual Le Mans 24-hour race on June 17/18, top […]

REVIEW: Forza Motorsport 6 (Xbox One)

As an avid car nut and gamer, nothing lights my wick as much as a brand new Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport title. One of those franchises has been relatively quiet over the last while, the other forked into a behemoth that not only covers pure vehicle simulation, but arcade racing action and even off-roading, […]

REVIEW: Real Racing 3 (iOS)

  I loved the Real Racing series. It was the prettiest, most authentic and gratifying racing experience ever to grace an iOS device. Now, however, it’s nothing more than a thief in a ball gown. Real Racing 3 continues along the lines of the first two titles, only this time offers more cars, tracks and […]

REVIEW: Forza Horizon (Xbox 360)

For as long as I can remember, I have been playing racing games. It all started back in the early eighties, when my father stupidly brought home a Fountain Force 2 videogame system, unwittingly kicking off a habit of mine that would soon take over my life. One of the games dear old Dad brought […]

REVIEW: Forza Motorsport 4 (Xbox 360)

I am absolutely certain that it is no coincidence that the 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT features in Forza Motorsport 4. Aside from being my dream car when I was 10 years old, it is almost identical to Aussie actor Eric Bana’s ‘74 variety that was the basis of his awesomely brilliant 2009 documentary Love […]

REVIEW: Driver San Francisco (PS3)

While it has its faults, Driver: San Francisco is a triumphant return to form for the once-great Driver series, following the awfulness that was the clunky DRIV3R on PS2 and Xbox. It dumps all the Grand Theft Auto-inspired on-foot missions and shooting and returns to the essence of what made the original Driver games great […]

Review: L.A.Noire (Xbox 360)

I have to admit that after playing through L.A. Noire, the new game from game publisher Rockstar – those wonderful people who bought you the throughly brilliant Grand Theft Auto series and the utterly awesome Red Dead Redemption – I am a little bit mystified by all the rave reviews it has been gathering.
