OK so I'm an old fart who knows nothing about home video games. I do enjoy AX'ing but find that my eyes can't keep up with the car and the course at times. I was thinking that if I spent some time over the winter playing some fast action video games that maybe my visual abilities would improve and my driving would get better.
I would like some recommendations for a cheap video game system PS2, Xbox ????and maybe some games to try. I have a good sized HDTV so something designed for that format would be nice. I appreciate all your thoughts. Thanks, Bill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

If you go the PC way
1 - buy a good wheel like the Momo or the Logitech G25 http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/p...s/&cl=us,en 2 - Download the demo version of " Live for speed " http://www.lfs.net/ In my opinion (and many other) this is the best car simulation available. If you like the demo buy the (cheap licence) and get the other cars and tracks. 3 - Download the demo of "Rfactor" http://www.rfactor.net/ Not as good as "live for speed" but more fun. If you like the demo, buy the licence and get all the cars and tracks. Rfactor has an open architecture. So there is a huge community behind the software to improve it. For instance, you can find hundreds of (free) addon cars and tracks for Rfactor at http://www.rfactorcentral.com |
