Forza Motorsport 3 Review

22 10 2009

 

Navigating Forza Motorsport 3’s many menus is like walking into Audi showroom, with all of it’s clean minimalist sophistication, and being offered a latte by a well dressed sales manager.

According to Eurogamer its Peter Egan in this case, who, frankly, be would just the man I’d want to sell me a high powered Audi R8. Just like Peter’s smooth received tones, Forza 3 oozes style from the moment you put the disc in the drive. Read the rest of this entry »

Trials Forever

Having spent far too much time this weekend playing the excellent Trials HD on Xbox Live Arcade I thought I’d give a quick shout out to the PC version of Trials 2. While this blog is mainly about free to play games I always encourage players to support their favourite titles by buying in game credit or the upgraded version and Trials 2 is a perfect example of this.

You can play the Flash demo version here and download the 3D demo from the Red Lynx website. If you have an Xbox 360 then download Trials HD right now! Go on, go.
