While I was down at Glendale yesterday I picked up a copy of GTR FIA GT Racing Game. This is a car racing game (as the title might reveal.

I got at Glendale early and hunted around for a "Need for Speed" game at EB games and elsewhere. I found the latest version of it (Pro Speed) and an older version (Most Wanted). The first was too expensive and I really didn't care for the theme of the second (illegal street racing) though I would have been happy with Underground after having read Initial 'D' recently (only, they'd better have a 'Tofu Driver' AI in it). Then I popped into Dick Smith's and found GTR on discount.

Gasp - the game uses up 1 Gb of hard disk space and has a security system that requires inserting the first disk every time you want to play. But, very nice, very nice indeed. It's visually stunning and has three modes, including 'simulation'. I shall fiddle around with the steering wheel later today.
