Bought a few new PC Games

I stopped by BestBuy Wednesday and bought a few new PC games. I was at a friends house earlier, and really enjoyed playing GTA: San Andreas, so I picked that up.

I also bought GTR2 and GT Legends in a bundle. I'm surprised at how much I enjoy those two. I've always loved racing games, they've always been my favorite, but I've NEVER been fond of having to use the keyboard for something like that. However, it's actually pretty cool. The graphics are good, the gameplay's really good, and the sounds are awesome. Especially the incredibly loud howl of the transmission in GTR2!

So, since Wednesday evening (actually didn't install the racing games until Thursday) I've played about 27 hours.

Anybody have either of these games?

    Oh yeah. I have 7 tests, a computer lab, and a presentation due next week. None of which I'm prepared for. Partly the reason I bought the games. :D

    I have GTR2, don't really enjoy it all that much. Get a wheel and pedals if you're going to be playing racing games.

    Definitely. I can not drive via keyboard.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    You don't enjoy it?? Out of curiosity, why not? What do you feel it's missing?

    Haha, I'd LOVE to have a wheel and pedals, but I don't really want to spend that much money on them. I hate the feel of the cheap ones. The one I'd really want is that really expensive Logitech with the clutch pedal and actual 6-speed unit. *droool*

    Hmm, maybe THAT's what I want for Christmas. Don't think it'd mount to my desk, though. Oh well, I could improvise. :)

    Like I said, I used to HATE using the keyboard for driving. But somehow, it's all of a sudden pretty fun, and not all that difficult. Well, if I turn off all the driving aids it gets hard, since you can't modulate the throttle and the brake, so I'm constantly losing traction with the higher powered vehicles. But in GT Legends you start out with really slow cars (and I've been on level 3 out of 5 for difficulty), so I guess I just haven't yet played at that level where the keyboard is totally ineffective.
