Forza 3 was available for U$40 bucks the week after it released, I have to say it's not as big a seller as some people hope. I like to compare it to Killzone. Yes, Forza is to Xbox 360 as Killzone is to Playstation 3. Neither of them sells well, both are great games and fanboys think they'll sell up there with the big boys - COD, GT.

I'd say more like Uncharted, personally.  Forza's more a critical darling with the media, but it's not a huge seller per se, like Uncharted.  


Naw, Uncharted is more like Gears, both great, both sell well but XBox 360 fanboys think Gears is as big as Halo and PS3 fanboys think Uncharted is as big as Gears.

No one thinks either of those are true.

Man, I remember the good old days of NFS. It used to be the best franchise if you were looking for an action packed arcade racer. IF only I hadn't lost my copy of NFS: Hot Pursuit 2; that game has to be the best arcade racer ever made.

If EA didn't turn NFS shit, then it would have definitely been selling as much as it used to. It actually makes me sad that how bad NFS has gone considering it used to be one of my most favourite franchises back then.
