Many folks are excited for the return of the stock car racing series, but one question still lingers… is it any good? Let’s find out."

Bring out the milk, we've got a winner!

BigWoopMagazine4769d ago

Aaaaand I will pass. Too many racers out there to limit myself to NASCAR style racing.

NJShadow4769d ago

Yeah, especially when you have Gran Turismo 5 which covers... EVERYTHING!

dragon824768d ago (Edited 4768d ago )

Gran Turismo 5 does not even come close to covering NASCAR. There are just a handful of drivers and just a couple tracks. You never even get to race with a full 43 car field.

NJShadow4769d ago

This seems very much like the preparatory stage for a really good NASCAR game. Decent first try, but I think next year we're gonna see the complete package.

BigWoopMagazine4769d ago

Yeah that's definitely what it sounds like. I just can't help reading this though and thinking of Bubba Jay going "Another left turn!"

Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.

MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.

Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.

Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.

Abriael78d ago

Obviously they aren't giving them the password to Sony's computers and telling them "help yourself."

Eonjay77d ago

"Microsoft allowed to probe Sony and Ubisoft"

Sounds hot...

ApocalypseShadow78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.

Abriael78d ago

Could you perhaps explain how this is related? I'm honestly curious since you seem to bring it up rather often.

S2Killinit77d ago

He is pointing out how corrupt MS is, and how money talks. I think.

KwietStorm_BLM77d ago

I would say read between the lines but it's pretty damn clear as it is.

Bathyj78d ago

You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.

TornRaptor78d ago

The games will become the best things ever all of a sudden.

Bathyj78d ago

Yeah I really doubt that.
I'm struggling to think of one I really cared about missing.

Hofstaderman77d ago

Bwhahahaha. Ain't that the truth.

Mr_cheese77d ago

The only exclusive im personally interested in from Microsoft is Elderscrolls and that's not even got s release date.

Everything else is genuinely of none interest.

OtterX78d ago

Microsoft never waits for the probing to be consensual.

derek77d ago

This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.

Sephiroushin77d ago

they probably know case is death but want some proof to sue them for a few millions regarding other stuff, the ftc loves to sue everyone, be sure that as soon as all this end they will just go sue MS and end in a settlement.
