Everyone knows that racing game fanatics love tearing up the road with the vehicles we use in game. Not only do we want to win at whatever game mode it is, we want to look cool doing it. What better way then to see these moments on the replay after a said race right? Well the past couple of years we've seen a huge drought in any sort of replay function in some of our favorite racing franchises or new ones. What's the cause of such an absence? and are racing replays gone for good?

"Microsoft has dropped the ball in so many instances now that it may be completely impossible to recover. Fans of the mega-company's gaming hardware have to face some facts at this point when it comes to the franchises that Microsoft had used to establish the Xbox brand in the first place.

"The Xbox 360 launched four years ago today in Europe, ushering in the current-generation of videogames consoles and putting a full stop in the life of the original Xbox.

Chris Plante delivers this feature that lists game titles with mini or meta games contained within that are strong enough to stand on their own. There are some omissions (e.g. only one of the Final Fantasy games listed - and *gasp* it isn't chocobo racing), so be sure to let him know what should have been included at content@ugo.com

A person on the Beyond3D forums tested various games, and found that some 360 games don't even run at 720p, and are instead upscaled to it. Halo 3 and Perfect Dark Zero, for example, run at 640p, while PGR3 and Tomb Raider run at a measly 600p.

It has also been noted that it runs at 1138x640 with only Bilinear filtering, no Anti Aliasing, and gets roughly 30 frames per second average.
