I found this answer that seems reasonable:
http://gaming.stackexchange.com/a/539

I think for the disk size 30/40 GB is more than enough

Picked up Grid Autosport today for the 360.  It's a little too arcadey (although still not an arcade racer, just too forgiving), but it's still pretty fun with all the different types of racing included.

Does this Grid has the rewind thing like the first one? I didn't like the game because of it: I couldn't concentrate on the race since I could rewind if I did anything wrong. The same goes to Dirt 2.


It does, but you can turn that option off and in turn, you get an XP bonus in your career mode.  So, at least there's a bonus for people that don't care for that too much.  I'm also one of them. LOL

That's better, at least there's some reward. I think I'll put it on my Steam wishlist for next christmas sales, although I still havent played much Race 07 since I bought it Unhappy

I'm still waiting to experience that "it" moment with these racing "sims" that have been coming out recently.  They've been pretty solid over the past couple of years, but not to where I'm wowed like I was when I first played NASCAR Racing 2003 Season on the PC.  That still remains the best all around sim (at least for oval racing) available.  The graphics are 10 years old, but the physics and damage are stellar, not to mention the plethora of mods available.  I have my hopes up for Project CARS and next year's F1 game that's being released on the One and PS4, though.

Race 07 is a great simulator but there's no carear mode, it's just random championships.
Do you know Assetto Corsa? It's a racing simulator that will be released later this year and seems promising Smile

Currently playing through Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners Of The Earth.






I'm enjoying it so far even though its incredibly f**king hard. Getting shot in the head will kill you instantly, there is no hud so you don't know many bullets are left in your clip, looking at inhuman monsters, and other gruesome/scary things will cause you to go insane and eventually die if you do it to long, and the controls are kinda awkward especially aiming.

It is also one of the buggier games that I've played, but i'd still recommend this to any of you guys that are into survival horror games, the story is interesting, and I enjoy trying (and inevitably failing) to sneak around enemies.



I also want you guys to recommend me some good horror games, not necessarily survival horror or scary games.

I've got Silent Hill 2&3,
The Suffering 2&3
Cold Fear
Area 51
Shadow Man
Alan Wake
Doom 3
Fear 2
Condemned 1&2
Left 4 Dead 1&2
Bioshock
Stalker Shadow Of Chernobyl
Alone In The Dark The New Nightmare
Yume Nikki
Cry Of Fear
Clive Barker's Jericho
You Are Empty
Penumbra Black Plague
Scratches
Eternal Darkness Sanity's Requiem
Parasite Eve
Resident Evil 4&5

My brother played it a few month ago and he was the one that was losing sanity. LOL

I've seen a few videos on AC.  I think I'd need to upgrade my PC quite a bit to be able to run it, but it does look fairly promising.  The two main things I want in a solid sim are realistic physics and realistc damage from crashing.  Developers seem to be able to do one or the other, but rarely both.  I'm hoping these next generation of games can fix that.

And then there's Gran Turismo that has none of those two and calls itself "The real driving simulator". LOL
I've played a lot of Gran Turismo 1,2,4 but only because I don't see it as a simulator.

Okay, if you can ever find a copy of it online or anywhere, get it.  The amount of mods available for it, plus the fact that there's a pretty big community that supports and keeps it fresh.  Yeah, the graphics are 10 years old, but in terms of pure realism and intensity, it doesn't get much better.  It was made by the guys that developed iRacing.

Oh Japan and its obsession with pigeon-toed women. LOL

Been playing FF1 via FF Origins lately. Forgot how good that game's design was back in 1990.

Finished this one last night:


I'm a bit sad for how easy the game was (I believe I was on the Hard difficulty level), the ending wasn't so grand and adventurous (felt rather forced), and I didn't even say goodbye to all the characters (except Dandelion). Way to kill it at the end, CD Projekt RED.

I got the game but I can't seem to play it on Windows 7 Cry
