the excitement of a new game!

Gran Turismo. A game that purports itself to be a driving simulator. A game which makes Forza fanboys moan because you can't design your own livery, and now in GT5, you can't even change the wheels on 4/5 the cars. Yet...there is a fucking fantastic photo mode. I spent hours on this simple yet addictive mode on GT4, and judging from my experience so far, I foresee much more of the same.

Anyway, so check out the new PS2 game I got!



yeah, I said PS2. Graphically, the 800 standard cars are little more than glorified PS2 models. Here's some bokeh to make it look a little more like photography.



The physics in GT5 are not exactly sim, but they are extremely fun. There's a lot of controllable, tail out fun to be had.



Premium cars, on the other hand, look fantastic.





Even in real life I'm not much of a fan of the R35 V-spec's wheels, so I had to swap them out for a nice set of BBS...
