"It fills your living room with plastic tat, fills the games market to saturation point and features gameplay in which the controller feels more like an obstacle to immersion than a conduit between you and the game on the screen. Of course all these charges could be levelled at any game in the Guitar Hero or Rock Band series, but for sheer disappointment Guitar Hero II steps forward on behalf of its fellows to take the award.
Contrast the endless series of heavy metal peaks on the soundtrac..."

Xboxliveaddicts’ reviewers look back on some of the best Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Arcade games of the decade with scores of 9 or above in this feature.
"Games should be fun.
But sometimes they get to a point where the challenge simply becomes beyond frustrating and makes you feel like an incompetent, so you don’t finish. Sometimes maybe it is your lack of skill, but other times it is just poor game design.
Or maybe the game becomes so boring that it becomes too frustrating to even bother finishing. After all, every second is a second lost of your life you’ll never get back, and who wants to be stuck playing a game that’s no longer fun..."
"In the second of Electronic Theatre’s brand new Sunday Specials, part of the new Weekly Features presentation available on the brand new Electronic Theatre website, we today bring you another session of easy reading for that lazy Sunday afternoon. After last week introduced the series by highlighted the Top Ten Multi-player Games according to the Electronic Theatre team, today we discuss a more localised area of videogame development the Top Ten Current-Generation Racing Games."
Gran Turismo 5 still is a ways away from being released, but can it possibly match or exceed expectations sales-wise from the previous installments? Each full installment has sold at least 9 million and Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec sold just shy of 15 million. However, GT5 is not alone, because Forza 3 is also set for release as well later on in the year.
"A nice new section that we will be exploring in 2009 is family gaming. As well as looking at the games we as parents can share with our children, we will also explore issues relating to online behaviour and how to navigate the increasingly adult-focused game world with our children.
We believe that being involved in video games with your child is not only the bonding fun experience of playing together and relating to their interest, but also the best way to educate yourself to better unde..."
"While the concept was ahead of its time and we are extremely proud of what we've accomplished, it became increasingly clear as this ambitious project evolved, that profitability was too far in the future for us to sustain operations in the interim.
Our goal was to be ahead of the curve in the e-sports space, and we conceived of CGS as a true sports league. We invested wholeheartedly in the venture and presented viewers with a top-notch production, but the economics just didn't add up f..."
"Described by its creators, VRX Industries, as "a masterpiece of cutting-edge technology combined with an aesthetically stunning design," the rather hefty MACH 4 is powered by four (count em, four) Xbox 360 consoles, pushing an astounding 4 Teraflops of performance."
"The first downloadable content for Forza 2 is now available and includes a three cars all for free. The bundle includes three 2007 Nissan models, the 2007 Sentra SE-R, Altima, and yet another 350Z.
Also, if you're willing to pay the 50 Points required, you can get your hands on a fourth motor, the Peugeot 908 race car, which featured in the recent Le Mans 24 Hour race. The Peugeot 908 will be the first race car that allows you to customise the paint, which will come as great news to the ra..."
"Turn 10 Studios, developer of ambitious Microsoft Xbox 360 racer Forza Motorsport 2 has revealed that the first batch of downloadable content for the high-octane title will be made available next month.
On offer will be a selection of new car packs and racetracks in a download selection that will run on Xbox Live from August until the end of the year.
There are no specific details of the latest motors or circuits just yet, and there's no clear cut information regarding the most importa..."
GWN's sim expert Walter Hurdle explains why Forza 2 is not a true racing simulation, and judges the game based on the following "deadly sins of arcade racing", some of which Forza 2 passes, and some fails:
The First Deadly Sin: Unrealistic physics model
The Second Deadly Sin: No damage
The Third Deadly Sin: No performance degradation
The Fourth Deadly sin: No cockpit driving view
The Fifth Deadly Sin: Fantasy tracks
The Sixth Deadly Sin: Unlockables
The Seventh Deadly Sin: Victo...
"Master Chief's latest ride isn't the Mongoose ATV. And it doesn't appear in Halo 3 either. Steer your eyes over to the race tracks of the recently released Forza Motorsport 2, and you get Halo-themed cars zooming by. Spurred by the release of Turn 10's racing title and its livery editor, the folks over at Bungie started a forum thread where readers and fans can deposit the product of their creative juices.
Now if Jessica Alba can bring her sexy back to Forza 2, and Disney cars join in as w..."
Forza Motorsport 2 is out now for the Xbox 360 and its "auto auction house" is drawing some inspired designs. Gaming Target has taken up the keys and crafted a car especially for J Allard, Microsoft's baldheaded, wig wearing warrior.
"I feel like this one has been a long time coming. I first picked up an Xbox 360 right at the tail end of 2005, and after seeing the fun but shallow Project Gotham Racing 3 on that hardware, it's been a long wait for a real racing sim. I'm a bit of Johnny-come-lately to Microsoft's side of the console world; right up until Gran Turismo 4 I was firmly in Sony and Polyphony Digital's camp. Curiosity and the desire for an Xbox media center resulted in my trying the original Forza Motorsport, and ..."
"Forza 2 isn't even a week old and players have already unleashed some killer custom paint jobs for their rides. A slick iPod theme, several anime-inspired cars along with South Park, Jack Sparrow, and a little game you might have heard of called Gears of War. Readers at Xbox 360 Fanboy have chimed in with their own works as well, proving once again that videogames don't kill brain cells, people kill brain cells."
"The long-awaited Forza Motorsport 2 demo is set to cross the finish line late tonight. On the official Forza messageboards, Turn 10 community manager Che Chou confirmed the demo had passed certification and would appear on Xbox Live Marketplace tonight.
"Demo should be live tonight on Marketplace at 2AM EST," Chou posted. "That's what we've been told. If it's not there at exactly 2AM, please do not shoot the messenger."
The demo is available only to those with Xbox Live Gold membership ..."
