When I played Gran Turismo game for the first time, it felt like nothing else I've ever played in the racing genre. I hate arcade racers like Burnout, Burnout Paradise is the only game I've ever resold and to me it's one of the worst games ever made. The only arcade racer I like is Wipeout series, which has something that appeals to me gameplay wise, even though when I first saw it, I thougt it was crap.
There is a pretty darn good reason why Gran Turismo is the best known, best selling and highest rated racing series out there. Industry professionals (from car industry) have acclaimed GT as the only racing game worth their attention, it's been praised from drivers, through engineers to car enthusiastics and manufacturers all around the world. And anyone who knows how GT game is beeing created, will notice that the love for cars and attention to detail is second to none. Kazunoru Yamauchi is a humble genius and perfectionist and his child, the GT series is the best racing series ever. Deal with it.
MY HYPE LIST: 1) Gran Turismo 5; 2) Civilization V; 3) Starcraft II; 4) The Last Guardian; 5) Metal Gear Solid: Rising
