With Need For Speed taking a decidedly more sim based approach earlier this year with SHIFT, and Sony's Gran Turismo 5 still some months away from release, Microsoft and Turn 10 have just made the new Forza Motorsport available to race fans everywhere. Not to be outdone by any racing title available now and even perhaps in the future, Forza 3 is a remarkably complete and fully competent package that deserves your attention whether you're in the niche target audience or not.  

I had always avoided racing games involving 'Rally' in them. For the most part I always got frustrated when playing them because there was little room for failure when it came to over compensating a turn or bumping into a vehicle.  Basically, I blame Sega Rally for most of my distasteful woes towards this genre of racing.  Sega's popular Rally game brought confusion, cursing and eventually the throwing of one's controller. Enter Dirt 2 into my gaming equation. Dirt 2 is a Codemasters published, Ego developed title that helps me forget that I ever hated this type of racing.
