NASCAR 08 is the first title in the NASCAR franchise to be made available on the PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360. The game will be on store shelves this summer and is rated "E" (for everyone)...
Disney Studios released Pure last week, and if you played the demo, you probably got hooked. Even if you're not ready to plunk down $60 to trick out on your ATV, there are other great deals to be found. The Goozex Report breaks down the most popular racing games available for the Xbox 360, complete with current values for each of the games, along with their Metacritic scores. This is a must-read for gamers who prefer to trade than buy.
Quote from site:
"Whilst its reasonable looking, it does not even touch the likes of Burnout or Gran Turismo. This is a real shame as the bad looks don't stop there, the cars themselves look really dated, very square edges, and dull looking, it even borders on lazy, go for a 3rd person view and look behind you, take a turn and your driver does not even move to steer, however the in car view at least makes him turn the steering wheel and it also has a better sense of speed. Even the drift effect is really poor, hang behind another car and there will be a few wispy, hair-like lines around the car, whilst it does the job in showing the drift, it looks lame. Overall the graphics are more like last gen PS2 or Xbox rather than a 360 title".
The Xbox 360 has been out for more than two years now, and while there have been a lot of great games released in that time, the 360 has seen its fair share of bad games as well. There isn't quite anything as epically terrible as Drake of the 99 Dragons or Aquaman like we saw on the original Xbox, where Xbox fans are proud to have them in their collection like a badge of honor, but there are plenty of stinkers that could reach those heights of fame and misfortune.

In all fairness, Sonic the Hedgehog was garbage across all platforms. With that said, I am actually looking forward to the DS sonic game because it is been developed by Bioware.
Make sure you don't take away the horrible glory of Area 51 away from PS3!! Let's people rag on something other than Lair (I liked Lair actually, just like if you hear horrible things about a movie, its hard to live up to the awfulness)
Papyrus Racing Games / Sierra Entertainment
NASCAR Racing 2003 Season is still by far the most played NASCAR SIM to date. it what the NASCAR drivers, like Dale Jr, play in the online leagues.
it is so real and sought after that to this day...you have to pay well over hundred dollars for a 4 yr old game. check ebay and you will see.
that being said, i hope EA goes after that kind of realism. like controlling the car going into and out of pit road.
papyrus even goes as far as to weather or temp change from practise making you have to tweak on race day.
engines can blow, tires can go down, and other malfunctions that are associated with racing can happen.
ea has screwed us by taking licence and thous not allowing papyrus to make their great game...
i hope they finally get some motivation and try and make a complete game.
i was wondering when they would put out a nascar game for the 360. hope it has great crashs like burnout.
