New Console Games on XBox 360

XBox 360

Race Pro by Simbin is by far the best driving simulation on the Xbox 360. The game physics are truly brilliant especially when playing on the Microsoft Xbox 360 steering wheel. My personal favourite cars are teh single seaters with the Formula Masters and the Formula BMW's really standing out. There are a fair number of tracks available okus there are a few downloadable tracks including Spa and Imola.

There are a few bugs that still haven't and probably won't be fixed, but there are workarounds, which still make the game more than playable.

Without doubt if you are serious about driving/racing and play simluation games with the correct equiptment - steering wheel, pedals, etc. then this is the best driving game on any console at the present time. Maybe Gran Turismo 5 will be the ultimate driving simulation, only time will tell.

Race Pro Force Feedback workaround

If you are using hte official Xbox 360 steering wheel some people have experienced problems with a lack of force feedback when playing Race Pro. If you experience this problem, here is the solution:

Turn on your Xbox 360 console with a normal controller. Sign in and boot up Race Pro as you normally would. When the lizard on the loading screen appears, turn on your Steering Wheel with the Xbox button in the middle. Go into the game with the normal controller, click on single race, then choose a car and a track and then press the back button until you get back to the screen before you are in the game. Now sign out on pad 1 and then sign in on the steering wheel. Enter the game pressing the A button and you will have force feedback.

Project Natal now Kinect on XBox360

One of the largest gaming events, the E3 in Los Angeles has started. Microsoft just kicked it off with their big presentation: Kinect™ (previously named project Natal), the movement sensing gadget is finally scheduled to be released in November. 15 compatible games will be release as a starting line-up.

There will be no more controllers in your hand, it's no longer about button sequences, it's about your actual movements .

The sleek, shiny Kinect™ holds a camera and sensor unit that follows your movements so precise that it really opens a new gaming dimension, far beyond simple party games.

The Kinect™ also features speech recognition adding voice commands to take control of the menus and games. Simply tell your console to play a game or go online for a video chat or similar.

The Kinect™ will come in November. Time will tell as to whether this is a good idea, I've only really seen the woman trying to groom the boy on a swing so far and that sort of thing really doesn't appeal to me!
