Sony has a system selling quadruple-A, driving simulation that turns the volume up to eleven. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is that impressive. Remember when FiringSquad reviewed GT3 and said it was the most fun they've had in a long time? Gran Turismo 5 brings that level of excitement back to the series. Part of this excitement comes from the fact that Polyphony Digital includes three of the hottest cars on the planet in this demo, the BMW 135i, the Mitsubishi Evo X, and the new Nissan GT-R.
iLLGaming contributor Anikait Makkar writes about the gaming industry's current business practices, and how it affects the consumer.
free to play no matter how good the game is if it is a free to play i dont play.
i want to pay full price for a full balanced experience unlocks shouldn't be earned by money but by the hard work you put in the game.
my free to play nightmares are borderlands,diablo,titanfall,w arhawk 2,halo and star wars battlefront.
Worst business practices
Paying to play online (PS+, XBL)
Season passes
disc locked content
Paid DLC (DLC should be free unless it is significant enough to be an expansion)
Paying to use your own internet, DLC (all of it, I'd rather have expansion packs with a ton of content), DLC coming out a week after the game's release, incomplete games with missing sections sold as DLC, pre order bonuses, short and pointless campaigns, not having server lists (like COD which insert you into random games and maps), expensive and permanent digital prices, yearly sequels with minor changes at full price, lack of challenging AI, lack of originality, and most of Micro$ofts "business practices." This may sound like a hateful statement, but I blame M$ for bringing most of these things to consoles. I remember when there free and inexpensive map packs on Live in the early years of 2006 and 2007, then they started pinching pennies.
Who else here has been gaming long enough to remember when paying $50 got you the WHOLE game? No left-out content sold as DLC, disc-locked content, season passes, outfits, avatars, etc.
Excuse me, I need to go have a cry at what has happened to my beloved hobby.

damm this game demo look and play great as hell..... now to wait for the game, damm feel like forever when you have to wait to get the game that you want lol.....
the more and more I play the demo, I am actually thinking of putting down 40 to get GT5 Prologue aka GT5 enhanced preview demo.
From what i looked at this game seems more complete and more effort it seems to use the Ps3 to the max which i like. This is a must buy and hopefully it shows developers what they can do with their games on the ps3 which will help us out who own ps3's.
the demo is simply amazing, every time i fire my ps3 up, stick the demo on i swear i find myself just smiling in ore at the screen as i am driving around Suzuka.
it's simply jaw dropping everything about it handling, graphics, racing physics - incredible !!
if i do have a slight niggle, i stress slight it's the sound of screeching tires, at this demo stage it just doesn't sound right
i do need to invest in a good racing wheel as altho it's good with a pad i expect the exerience to improve tenfold with a good racing wheel.
Since i have mapped the accelerate and brake to the outer triggers as the default buttons just doesn't feel right it certainly has added to the experience.
the thought of 16 player online racing on tracks like Daytona just fill me with joyous anticipation, i cannot wait for the Prologue version never mind the full retail version.
I love Sega Rally and the whole arcade racing experience but playing the GT5 demo just highlights you cannot beat the realistic racer and GT5 is shaping up to be the pinnacle of that genre
happy days !!!!! (i am smiling)
