    Im kinda done with GRID...

    And I was thinking of purchasing another racing game...

    Its a toss up between NFS:MW and NFS:C...

    Out of those two, which game would YOU guys recommend?

    Any other racing games for me to consider?


    Thank you in advance :D ;)

    If you haven't played it yet, you might as well give Trackmania Nations Forever (available at www.trackmania.com) a try. It's completely free (a few advertisements in game on stadium scoreboards and stuff, but no pop-ups or otherwise annoying graphics - fits in with the racing environment), professionally developed, and has amazing graphics (which look very good on the 8600M GT). There older version, Trackmania Nations, is also free and worth a try if you like Trackmania Nations Forever.

    Can't comment on the Need for Speed ones. The nonexistant cost of Trackmania has resulted in me not purchasing any other racing games - kinda cheap :).

    z0mg. *checks it out*

    looks really nice... I think im more into like... customizing cars n stuff...
    I also like them IRL...
    i've owned, not too much "racing cars", but here in Honduras, they're good enough...

    2 Mitsubishi; 1 Lancer ES '02, 1 Lancer OZ '03,
    1 Nissan ; Sentra '04,
    1 Honda; Civic DX '04,
    1 Toyota; Corolla S '05,
    1 Mazda ; 6 '03...

    I still have the mazda 6... and thnking about selling it, probably getting an evo, or a '05 mustang...

    so, im really into like that kind of racing games... (my main genre is FPS though)...
    an other thoughts for the NFS series?

    i can answer my own question now.....the NFS to be released this year would be NFS Undercover.....it wont be anything like NFS PS. EA is back to underground style racing again.....that means we hv good times ahead :D .

    n...theres NFS XIII coming up for 2009 which is already under development.

    As long as they don't go all "I'm Gansta of da Streets" and stay away from the corny dialect, I'll be happy :) NFS U2 was so pitiful...


    <Sigh> and what happened to all the good racers the PC use to offer???
