when i first fire up some type of racing game i usually spend a few minutes steering all over the place and hitting the rock/tree/you-name-it that just jumped out in front of me.

i’ve done it with stunt driver on the ps2, evo 2 4X4 on the xbox, and motorstorm on the ps3. i’ve been trying out a few demos just to get a feel for the other games out there. motorstorm: pacific rim has a great playable demo (yup, still ran into trees and rocks, but had a blast doing it), and nascar 09.

unexpectedly i was able to race around the track in nascar 09 for what seemed like hours. didn’t really crash. didn’t really do much of anything except get sleepy on the wheel.

at this point i’d like to seque to michael palin’s account character who wants to be a lion tamer, when asked why he didn’t want to be an accountant anymore he said it was dull, unbelievably dull…

so dull in fact that i turned the car around going the wrong way on the track and started hitting the other drivers head on.

don’t know about you guys but i wouldn’t pay $60 for that.
