Gran Turismo may have led the initial drive towards realism, but in sim terms Sony's franchise and Forza 2, its arguably more accomplished disciple, still have a considerable slice of tarmac ahead of them."
It’s no secret that the Xbox 360’s lifespan is coming to an end, meaning we’ve got an extensive library of games to sort through and possibly trade-in to GameStop or EBGames. Because of this, used Xbox 360 games are incredibly cheap, and a lot of people might be spending this summer adding those last few games to their collections.
Time to round up the best racing titles in a Top 10 run down.

Who the hell was waiting? Didn't know people actually still play this game yet alone bought it.
Really edge? An 8?
*claps*
To Edge360, seriously a game with 68 on metacritic, and you give it higher than a game with 93?
Played it have you guys?
Race Pro seems to be one of those racing games you either like or hate. From what I've read about the game even on it's easiest difficulty it puts most sim-based games to shame.
The issue most reviewers seem to have with the game is that while the game is challenging and racing itself is pretty good. All the bells and whistles we expect from sim-based racers have been left out.
I'm planning on giving Race Pro a rent this weekend.
codemasters are british
Dont think there's a connection??...look at the scores they give to their compatriots games on any format. They are just looking after their own neighbours
