DiRT, GRiD and DiRT 2 are good racing games.

If you like semi sim kind of gameplay.

Even DoW2's community is shrinking because of GFWL's incompetence in matchmaking and lag fest in 3v3 games.

Relic fixed almost everything that is wrong with DoW2, except GFWL.

If you are planning to play SP only, get it. MP wise, expect nightmare.

Dont expect much races available for you, as DiRT2 runs even slower in MP than SP. It's quite noticeable when you are running it below recommended.

Unless you turn the down.

Heard GRiD is ok. They are not using GFWL.

There used to be a few GRiD kakis around and they played GRiD consistently for a year or so,till DiRT 2. Then, i dont see many play DiRT 2, probably due to the online system sucks.

Get the Codemaster Racing Pack.

Quite worth it for 5 racing games.

DiRT 1 and 2, plus GRiD makes the pack worth the money.

IMO, the racing games i think that is worth buying are:

GRiD: Very good game play with multiple classes like GT1 to drifting to 24 hours(actually in minutes) Le Mans.

DiRT1: Much more old school, like older Colin Mcrae Rally games like damage on car carry to next stage and much more extensive tuning. Plus some really fun trucks to use like the lorry race, which was not featured in DiRT 2

DiRT2: Better graphics, and trailblazer. Rally was dumbed down a bit, but still fun. Trophy Trucks are actually drivable now, but it was hell to drive in DiRT 1.

NFS Shift: The handling physics is similar to driving in real life like the camera actually tilts a bit when you drive over a bump. It is more for immersion, IMO,and pretty accurate car handling. I enjoyed this one a lot too.

Trackmania United Forever: This game is not free, but i think it worth the price for buying it for 7 different environments that feature different types of cars. Best racing game for Multiplayer, as it uses Dedicated Server system, not P2P like other racing games. Also, you play this game smoothly even with ping over 2000. Trackmania as no local servers, but it doesnt matter as you can connect all the way to German with no problem. It still have a very active community like 30,000 on peak to about 8000 on lowest peak. It's also a great game to play competitively,not just casually. The only downside is, there is no collision in this game but its more like for the sake of fair competition.

Trackmania Nations Forever: This is the free portion of Trackmania that only give you one environment. Other than that, it's the same.

tl:dr: If you want to play MP, Trackmania is no doubt the best choice. If you want SP, DiRT1 and 2, GRiD are the best games to play.

I prefer those who are more sim-like racing games. Arcade games are ok too, but there isnt much choice other than Flatout 2, NFSU and NFSMW. Havent tried Split Second or Blur.

Burnout is fun while it last. After a while, it gets damn boring in SP. And the MP was empty when i play last time. Now it sit on my shelf collect dust. Then, those imba DLC cars just spoil the whole thing.

I bought ori for this and im disappointed once the DLC start coming out.

5USD is cheap enough for this game.

Bought straight away. lulz game.

Along with Introversion Pack. RM70 for 7 games. Not bad man.

Left Trackmania United Forever,and maybe Lead and Gold.

Why would you want another account to buy the same game?

LAN for what? Not like you own a CC or something.

DoW2 will give you an additional copy, if you have owned one.

Happened to me when i buy DoW2 Gold last time.

You can gift extra DoW2 copies if you got it the second time.

Come on, give me Trackmania offer.

Thats the last game i'll buy in the Summer offer.

Damn, Borderland is cheap.

BFBC2, tempting...

Can save RM23 for Freedom Force Pack.

BLAAAAAAHHHHH, stop tempting me!!!!!

BFBC2 was on RM80 offer a couple of days ago, but it's only available for US and Canada.

GFWL never fail to ruin good game's MP.

- Lousy matchmaking and NAT.
- Hidden DRM with no documentations on it.
- Laggy when play online, if there are a lot of players in a single game.
- Chunky interface

Thats just a few of them.

Notice good games like GTA4, DoW2, DiRT2 never have an active multiplayer community. GFWL is the main problem.

See, thats why GFWL sucks.

Luckily it's only RM70, not 70USD.

Get BFBC2 or not?

I actually find KF more fun than L4D.

The gun fights are better.

Added on July 5, 2010, 1:12 amPretty good game.

There arent many local servers,though, but Aussie servers are generally playable.

About 100 to 400.

Playable for me, most of the time.
