This past Christmas my folks gave the husband a Microsoft XBOX 360. I must admit this was a present for him and not much for me. I really didn’t think that there would be much of anything of interest to me with the XBOX, after all I’m a Nintendo Fan Boy through and through. Well… I was wrong.

A few days after we got the XBOX 360 Shawn brought me a little gift… Project Gotham Racing 4. It was indeed a great gift especially knowing what a car nut I am. A game that allows me to drive for hours around in a Ferrari or a RUF Porsche is just the right thing for me. And to be honest, I’ve wasted a good part of the last 4 months just driving and driving. I absolutely adore the game.

Back in January while at the local GameStop, I saw they had a wireless steering wheel and it had PEDALS no joke. I wanted this bad but at 100 USD it seems a bit steep for just one game so I just put it out of my mind. Until the other day when a huge box showed up… a gift from my hubby.

I am so excited. The hubby got it for a steal 30 USD! I have to say I like it. It adds a totally different element to the game. I really like the pedals but the steering wheel is so much harder than the XBOX controller. It took me a while to sort out what was so different but I finally sorted it. When you play with the controller when you let go of the control stick it goes back to the center and the car goes straight… with the wheel you have to turn it back to center. I’m forever running in to the wall! Guess I’ll just have to practice more!
