Thumbs up driving sims

Any of you all play these driving sims? I did it the other night and thought it was pretty cool.

There are a few days a year, that being a MAC owner, I want to cry.

Today, shortly after reading your post.. It became one of those days.. I was a hardcore PC gamer for years. But then for professional reasons, I went APPLE.

Whilst it was the right decision and APPLE blows the pants off PC, I do miss my gaming..

What I don't understand is, MAC has an absolute built in audience for gaming. Their core customers are people like me who love to game.. Why they haven't figured out a good way to make games work on MAC is beyond me.. (of course you can do dual boot, but that is only a so-so solution.)

Here's the other thing I just don't understand.....

The reason PC gaming is so much better than console (XBOX and PS3) gaming, is because of the controls. Using a mouse, keyboard, joystick, etc. is just sooo much better than a stupid six axis controller.

WHy Microsoft and Sony have not designed a keyboard game play option for their console games is so beyond my understanding, I'm stifled.
Those that want to play on a controller can continue to do so, while those of us on keyboards and mouse can dominate.

Plus, all the crappy renditions of good desktop games wouldn't be so lame when they got converted to console...

PS...the "demo download" off the CNet site is going on:
it looks like an hour download?

Maybe Madonna and ARod are gonna show up here in
my library/'puter room to show me how to work it.

312 MB of download? I must be missing something here...lol!
