GT5 is a great game, but lets all admit that forza 4 and GT5 are great games with different strengths and weaknesses.

Forza 4: great online, great menus, great physics, accessibility, great track detail, great car variety with uniform quality, untouchable customization, great graphics. Negatives are no day/night cycles, and less types of racing.

GT5: Great online, terrible menus, great physics, limited accessibility, ok track detail (worse in old tracks...

If you look at metacritic, Forza 4 beats GT5 in both average reviewer score, and user/customer rating. So the people have spoken and Forza 4 wins according to the writer of this GT5 defending article (masked as a balanced view).

Back to reality, both games are great games, and as a lover of cars, I think each should have a place in our hearts. Neither is perfect and both have ups and downs, but both are good games.

I prefer Forza 4, but that is my prefere...

Me too. Some more tips:

1. Play old games: there are more great games than you have time to play, so pick up those games from last year that you wanted but never got around to buying. They are probably under 30$ now, and that is new. I get most of my games in the 20-30$ range.

2. Finish your games. We all have unfinished games for some reason or another (especially if you start buying many for 20$ like I do). Finish them, get your moneys worth, and by the...

Net gen is coming, and I think it will be announced next year for Sony and the Xbox. We will probably even get a Holiday release.

The thing is, neither company will confirm it now, because as soon as they do, people will stop buying current consoles and start saving.

The crowd is designed to be seen as you zip by at 200mph, not analyzed in high def closeups. This is the same for every racing game to date.

Better car models or better fans?
Better physics or better fans?
Better lighting or better fans?
Better frame rate or better fans?
Better textures or better fans?

Get your priorities right son...

GT sells well because it has been around longer, it is incredible (but arguably no longer the best), and has a huge fan base built up due to the previous two points.

Forza is like BF trying to dethrone COD, it may be as good or better, but MW/GT has been around longer and is more synonymous with the genre.

I love both, but I admit that Forza pulls more at my heart strings as a "car guy" however. GT is a racing sim, Forza is a racing sim that can...

Both look good, but Forza 4 has MUCH better scenery/backgrounds, and the lighting is more impressive in my books.

Cars, well I think they are comparable, so long as you compare premium GT5 cars. Safe to say that the other 700-800 GT5 cars are a FAIL, even compared to F3.

Forza edges on graphics, especially when considering non-premium GT5 cars.

Forza 3 tuning and customization beat GT5... likely will again

Interface was far ...

You are all wrong. THis is a "key party". Everyone puts their keys in the container, and when it is time to go home, you grab a set of keys, and that is who you go home with and *uck.

Cliif B is just as entitled to his opinion of reviewers as reviewers are entitled to their own opinions of his game. Neither are wrong.

I have to agree with the author. People were polled, the people voted. Democracy won.

Stop blaming Bioware and look in the mirror. Mass Effect is a Western RPG. It is catered to the tastes of a people that are a majority Caucasian, English speaking (the contest was conducted in English) and male. Sure ME has been translated to other languages, but the majority are english, caucasian, and they prefer blondes. Is that racist? NO. Is that wrong? No. Would another opti...

I find that more often than not, IGN's reviews are insightful, and when it comes to Metacritic, IGN tends to be spot on with their ratings.

People just like to bitch, and IGN is the biggest fish in the pond... so it is an easy target. The same gamers that bash IGN read it religiously.

So I too defend IGN.

That being said, I did find their Catherine review to smell of rotten. It was reviewed before anyone else, by someone who admit...

They have a lot of game telemetry, and i am sure default femshep was unpopular.. So bring on anorexic teen agnst fem shep.

My fem sheps are blond (like my wife) and a redhead... Neither looks like a emo-teen. Shep is more mature in my mind.

P.s. This poll for femshep is why we have other people making decisions for the masses... Is anyone surprised that blond shep won?

Want cars to add to the list? Check out the Ralf Lauren car collection... and then add everything in it.

I hope they are just getting the boring cars out of the way first... or we will get a GT5 car list (aka snore-fest).

That being said, I have high hopes for Forza 4 since the car list for F3 was incredible.

The classic muscle cars pack, and the SUV's make me worry that they are catering too much to the US market.

Just announce Porsche already or you won;t be getting my business!!!

exactly.

The title should read, "teen dies after going to washroom."

Her dying is no joke. Saying she died from a "heart attack" after "too much Xbox" is a joke.

Status asthmatica, spontaneous tension pneumothorax, pulseless arrythmea, Pulmonary embolism (possible, but that would be from excessive inactivity not Xbox), embolic stroke, ruptured aneurism... all possibilities. For her to ha...

I have two points:

1. This blurs the line of fanboyism... who am I to trash if the developer worked on both Halo 4 and Killzone 3?

2. Now that fanboy hype for Killzone 3 has died, it is good to see people call a spade a spade and point out that Killzone 3 has its flaws... some serious. If you tried saying that around release you would get your head bitten off by the Sony defense force and be called a 360 troll.

I will take quality over quantity any day.

I got Dirt3 and loved it. It may not have the quantity of Forza or GT, but it had tons of quality and was fun as hell. I will take a focused enjoyable experience over a loose one with more options at the cost of quality. You want an awesome rally experience? PLay Dirt3. GT5 rally has nothing on Dirt3, just like how codemasters F1 is untouchable for open wheeled racing.

I love racers. If I want sports cars and r...
