While those of you with PS3’s still eagerly away Gran Turismo HD, the XBOX 360 crowd gets to have their fun playing Forza Motorsport 2 ($55), the sequel to the award-winning original that came out a few years back for the original XBOX. Everything people loved about the original is still there, ultra-realistic simulation (including body damage), hundreds of cars to tune and customize till your thumbs bleed, real world tracks, and the graphics (naturally) take a big leap on the next gen system. If you’re into racing sim games, this is one you can’t miss.
