1216761 2011-07-14 10:41:00 Used to have the official Microsoft Xbox 360 one. I think it was a Microsoft one anyway. Not sure if you can still get it, was silver/white iirc. Was great, just need something decent to mount it on, so much better than having it on your lap.

A lot harder, but definitely a lot funner to play on. Especially on DiRT.

Not quite, My position is sim racing games are better on the PC, mainly because their isn't any on consoles.

No problem with Arcade games as long as they don't pretend they are something they aren't. A well built racing game is only drivable with a wheel.

Of course its hard to understand that when the yardstick is that junk MS wheel and a game like dirt.

And just to contradict multiple posts I have made.

The MS wheel and F1 is indeed awesome.

(dirt 3 is on my shopping list)

Forza series would like a word.

Dirt 3 = overrated. Unless you like short races, long load times, a very little rally in what is essentially a rally game.

1216768 2011-07-14 11:45:00 Forza 3 is an excellent game, worthy of its success, and imo a great arcade game presented in a real world manner.

1 and 2 were absolute crap in comparison to what was available at the time on the PC.

I'm still going to buy Dirt 3, But it will be when its selling on trademe for pocket change.
