Videogame NASCAR racing is another beast entirely, in that it's usually not an exercise in extreme tedium and a test of patience. Quite the contrary actually, the act of racing around the oval at 180+ miles per hour is actually quite exhilarating. Throw in 42 other drivers and your adrenaline will be spewing out of your eyelids. But for multiplayer NASCAR, the subject of this preview, the field is contained to 12 drivers online. According to EA, they were shooting for 16 players but just couldn't run the game at a smooth 30 frames per second.
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)
Looks decent enough, would've liked of seen the 16 MP though instead of 12
