New Video Games

[Professor]

Cool thing about the Xbox is that you can easily sync it with your home computer. Use it to listen to music on your computer hard drive, watch movies, etc.

That said, I don't really care much about the differences. I don't play nearly enough to work out all the nuanced differences.

However, if you like racing games, get the Xbox. Forza beats the everloving shit out of GT5. Then, you should also get Grid 2. Great racing game, more geared towards driving and technique than flashy cars, better simulation, but only if you have a wheel.

Speaking of wheels, get the Logitech G27. Friggin awesome. But, you need to put it on something. My suggestion is building one of these.



I built one in my garage out of wood (plywood and 2x4s). Used an old racing seat I had (Sparco Evo). Measured the dimensions from my racecar and replicated them in the "simulator". When I felt especially nerdy, I'd even stick on my race suit, shoes, gloves and helmet. Of course, this was before I had kids, when I could get a solid 5 hours of racing done in one sitting.

preview for Cities: Skylines, which is basically everything you wanted the new SimCity to be. it can simulate up to a million sims on a 36sq km map. hell, you can decide if you want cars to be normal or british and designate on street parking. sims will walk, drive, or use public transport to get where they need to go. on top of that all it looks gorgeous

the buildings look like cartoonish garbage but i was reading an AMA where those are the most basic building models and will be made better on release.

Anyone play Destiny? Need some fireteam teammates.

you may be thinking of "cities xl". colossal order makes "cities in motion" and this is their newest. problems with "cities in motion" had to do with complaints on interface and learning curve

[The Comrade]

i'm really tempted to get cities XXL because i own both of the other ones so it's only 20 dollars but i know in my soul they haven' fixed that memory leak issue and it makes their game literally unplayable on any system.
