GoPro HD Motorsports Hero GoPro is proud to introduce the HD HERO, a professional wearable HD camera.

Being far and away the worlds leading maker of wearable sports cameras gives GoPro access to technology that makes this possible.

Take your pick and let er rip. In either setting, you can be sure your picture will be uber-sharp from edge to edge. At GoPro, the lens is king. All hail the lens. HD Sound Included.

Forza Motorsport 3
$59.99
Great racing game. Better than Forza Motorsports 2. Selection of cars in the game is unbelievable. Navigating through the game is simple an easy. Suggest if you have an extra 20 bucks by the limited edition to get the 5 extra cars that you can't get with the regular edition.

The ONLY complaint I have is the horrible wait times when picking vehicles because it has to load the 3d image of the vehicle. They fixed that in Pacific Rift. Otherwise, this games is awesome. In my opinion this is one of the best race games out there. I'm not a fan of very realistic simulations, but I don't care for races where the cars on on rails either. This is a nice balance of arcade fun with just enough realism and grit to make it extremely playable for hours.

HeadLine Fact:
90-95% of the population does not know what is good and what is bad, indeed fitting us into the saying "pearl to a swine". Most of us are content with stuff that is unoriginal, people don't see the higher possibility, but only see what's in front of them. That is why the world is blind and that is why creativity has died. The proof is in the constant remakes and reuse of old movies, games, etc. We continuously fall into that hole of mediocreness. Be different, demand better! This is a message brought to you by me, nonrelated to this game.

GAME REVIEW

I've been playing this game for about a week or so. I have played Gran Turismo 2 and 3 before and started Forza for the first time. This is an opinionated review about how I feel about this game.

This game is well made, the graphics is nice and all, however my experience with this game has not been very pleasant. It's not that there's anything wrong with the disc or my system. I was expecting to enjoy this game a lot, however, I found it to be one of the most unpleasant, stressful, anger inducing game ever. I like racing simulation games, but either this game is too real or not real enough, I have found the gameplay to be ridiculously frustrating.

I'll elaborate and also add some flaws:

1. Saving. This thing has autosave, once you buy a car or buy certain upgrades, you're stuck with it if you let the autosave kick in. You cannot buy a car and upgrade it and test it out and see if it's good first and if it's not reset your game and try another car. Once you buy the car, you're stuck with it and the consequences of buying it.

2. Tuning is just crazy in this game, but I've seen it in GT and such, but you have to be quite knowledgable in tuning to get it right. A lot of time is wasted, imo, in just sitting around and tuning it. Tuning is hard because sometimes you can't tell the difference or it's simply because you're driving bad in one race and good the next. I find it hard, it's probably just me.

3. I spent 3 hours or so trying to beat the first track, partially because I didn't know about the tuning option because I was new at the time. However, after tuning I would expect that turning would be a lot easier. However, this was not the case. If a fully upgraded car has problems turning a U or L shaped turn at 50-70 mph, then you got issues. I find myself continuously spinning out of control, tuning doesn't seem to do too much. I suppose this is a personal thing hence this is a personal review. It just might happen to you too. Also, you got to watch out for ur opponents accidently nugging you. One nug means losing control, smashing into the wall, and ruining your race. Resetting is a continuously option you must choose if you play this game.

4. Again with the autosaving issue. Many of the races require a specific class of car, a specific weight requirement, model type, HP limit, etc. That requires you to buy cars and upgrades. However, cars can be expensive and the upgrades maybe even more. I fully upgrade one of my cars (sometimes u should and sometimes you shouldn't fully upgrade base on race requirements) and it costs me about 30-40K give or take. Now, autosave is the issue because you can't actually buy a car, test it out in the race you want, and choose whether to keep it or not. Once you buy a car, you are stuck with it even if you hate it. You can't change your mind. Autosave just makes the game worse, I dislike it very much.

5. You can't sell the cars that you won. So far from what I see it's cars that you win in a tourney or when you reach a certain level (every 5 lvls u get a car). Your max resell is 100cr, which is worthless. So winning cars many times won't help you unless maybe if you plan to use them.

6. Funky physics. What do I mean? When you hit the side wall in a parallel direction, physics would probably have it that the car just slides against the wall instead of bouncing me perpendicular off it. I'm talking about the non-cement type walls. It's like I'm hitting a spring and even springs shouldn't do that. It's like you rub your hand against your table and instead of it going across the table surface, your hand gets bounced upwards away from the table.......



In conclusion
This game is either a love it or really really hate it kind of game. If you know exactly how to tune then you can get the most out of ur drive or else you'll end up like me. There are many people that have succeed without knowing much about tuning, but it is frustrating imo.


I have progressed so little in this game, I have played it and now I no longer want to touch it for at least a few more months. Whether you find this review useful or not is up to you. It doesn't matter to me, it's just my opinion. I also got this game for [...] total.
