The company just announced their car-racing simulator, Race Pro, and I'm already rolling my eyes over the game's title. Really, what is it about this year that has sapped the creative minds in charge of naming video games? First we had Sony's M.A.G. (Massive Action Game)… and now this? Oh well.
Race Pro is clearly attempting to steal the hardcore racing fans away from the powerhouse that is Gran Turismo. Developed by SimBin, known for their extensive history of PC racing simulators, Race Pro marks the company's entry into the home console market. Earlier, I had the chance to go hands-on with the 360-exclusive racer and I have a full host of impressions after the jump."
It’s no secret that the Xbox 360’s lifespan is coming to an end, meaning we’ve got an extensive library of games to sort through and possibly trade-in to GameStop or EBGames. Because of this, used Xbox 360 games are incredibly cheap, and a lot of people might be spending this summer adding those last few games to their collections.
Time to round up the best racing titles in a Top 10 run down.
