I wanna say thanks to the two whole people who wished me luck in a sense on Saturday:P it was appreciated. It seems like I lost a lot more readers then I thought due to my time away, ah well.

At the moment I'm reading more then I'd like to on Forza 3 just so I feel prepared, watching endless video previews, reviews and interviews to the point where I managed to make myself look forward to a simulation racing game. I haven't done that since Gran Turismo 3 on the PS2. I guess the appeal comes from Forza 3's attention to accessibility and on not making me have to run through tracks in order to gain licenses or punishing me for making slight mistakes on the road.

This is a problem that has always plagued simulation racers – where they seem to try way too hard to please the core fans without doing enough to bring in people who just happen to like cars but aren't necessarily adept gamers. In the world of racers the word simulation has become synonymous with punishing difficulties and thrown controllers so I'm glad that devs are starting to understand that it's still possible to cater to both crowds - the racing enthusiast gamer, and the general racing enthusiast.

On another note, Sony is calling me back to their ranks, I've been waiting for the perfect reason to get a PS3 and if Metal Gear Solid 4 wasn't enough for me Uncharted 2 definitely convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubt that I need to get my hands on a PS3 immediately.

It has been described as an amazing cinematic experience? Are you kidding me, this game was catered to my taste for all things cinematic and epic. This console just seems to be on a role when it comes to exclusives at the moment and my increasing interest in team ICO's The Last Guardian, and Demon's Souls provides me with little doubt. I'm so looking forward to getting my hands on a slim right now.
