what are your thoughts of the Nascar ‘08 video game?

i got it yesterday, and i find it to be a little disappointing. there are many tracks on the Busch series that are missing. the Milwaukee Mile isn’ on there. it looks like they just copied the tracks for the cup drivers to go with the Busch, and Craftman’s truck.

there is also very little items to unlock, and not too many paint, and sponsors to chose from when creating your own car.

they don’t even give you a real choice to chose from when chosing your favorite driver’s car and their different car logos.

what are your thoughts on the new Nascar ‘08? do you like it, or do you also feel it to be disappointing
the best nascar game EA has made was Nascar Thunder 2004.

Keep in mind that this is the first release for Ps3 and XBOX 360. We have to make sacrifices because it’s a first release and you know the first release of MADDEN on the 360 was total junk, and a piece of crap. The game is hard and the casual pick it up and be great days are over. It pays to practice. Yes they could have had a ton more paint schemes for the driver and for the user created car. I was a little disappointed at that. I like using the Microsoft racing wheel though. It was definitely worth the money. If you have a controller, set your sensitivity down as low as you can. It will help on the restrictor plate races. I love all of the tuning options, although some tutorial would have helped out a little bit here. They could have easily put that in the instruction manual or included it in like they did with Forza! The game is tough, I’ll give them that! The computer is a little overaggressive. Not all of the tracks will release rights for EA to have them in the game so yes they will always be left out unless they give permission. Carl Edwards is missing too. But we can’t have everything I guess!!! I like the game, its fun, a challenge, a little ridiculous at times, but then again what game isn’t cheap and pathetic at times!!! Getting gold on the license is nearly impossible. I have only a handful of them!

There’s an extra coat of hot wax on Pixar’s vibrant, NASCAR-influenced comedy about a world populated entirely by cars. Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) is the slick rookie taking the Piston Cup series by storm when the last race of the season (the film’s high-octane opening) ends in a three-way tie. On the way to the tie-breaker race in California, Lightning loses his way off Route 66 in…

The simple pleasure of watching a living car squirt oil in a villain’s face just never goes away. Disney, in their effort to revitalize the Herbie franchise, has made the wise choice of not trying too hard–aside from a small bit of skateboarding action, just about every element of Herbie: Fully Loaded would fit right into the 1963 original (groovily titled The Love Bug) or its various sequels.

Sweet baby Jesus, we thank you for blessing Will Ferrell and Adam McKay with the talent to create a NASCAR comedy as hilarious as Talladega Nights.

Driven

Motorsport movies have a lousy track record, so it’s not surprising that Driven joins the ranks of previous race-car clunkers like Grand Prix, Le Mans, Bobby Deerfield, and Days of Thunder. To varying degrees, all of these films offer spectacular racing footage (especially Le Mans), but what is surprising is that Driven was written by its star and coproducer Sylvester Stallone, who shows virtually…

The Top 10 Race Car Drivers Ever

It was the year 1998 and as part of Nascars 50th anniversary they decided to gather a list of 50 of the top race car drivers in the auto racing industry, the idea first came about when the NBA granted 50 of its players for the Greatest Players In NBA history. To quote the president of Nascar, Bill France said that “These are the men who define the competition of our sport. Their accomplishments are the benchmark that much of our history is identified by. Honoring them in this way, at the beginning of the NASCAR 50th Anniversary celebration, is one way of showing our true appreciation for them and the invaluable contribution they have given over the past 50 years. These are the drivers who made and make NASCAR fans stand on their feet and cheer. These are the drivers who are NASCAR history.”

Well since there is already a list of 50 that commemorates all the greatest drivers, I decided to make a list of 10 along with their sponsorships and or brands of the drivers at hand along with a little bit of other information about the driver. These drivers have all been in the limelight for quite some time now, but a few of them are up and coming drivers as well. The old 50 count list had a lot of deceased drivers, and I wanted to list all the newer drivers still in the Nascar industry. These drivers are not in any sort of an order, so let’s take a look, shall we?

Jeff Gordon of Pittsboro, Indiana was born August 4, 1971 and drives the Hendrick Motorsports No. 24 Chevrolet. He had 36 starts in 2007, 6 wins, 30 top tens, and 1 DNF. Sponsors include Du Pont, Pepsi, GM, Motorsports Authentics, EA Sports, Jeff Gordon Racing School, and Time Warner Cable. As of right now Jeff is ranked at #8.

Tony Stewart of Rushville, Indiana was born May 20, 1971 and drives the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 20 Home Depot Toyota. Tony had 36 starts, 3 wins, 23 top tens, 4DNFs and was 6th in the Championship standings in the year 2007. Sponsorships include Home Depot, Coca-Cola, Old Spice, Toyota, Subway, Simpson, Mac Tools, and Oakley. Rank #7

Kurt Busch of Las Vegas, Nevada was born August 4, 1978 and drives the Penske Racing No. 2 Dodge. In 2007 he had 36 starts, 2 wins, 14 top tens, 3 DNFs and was 8th in the Championships. Sponsors include the likes of Miller Lite, Snap-on, Mobil 1, Kodak, Penske, Sirius, PPG and Dodge just to name a few. Rank #18

Kyle Busch (little brother of Kurt) of Las Vegas, Nevada was born May 2, 1985 and drives the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 18 Toyota and in 2007 he had 36 starts, 1 win, 20 top tens, 2 DNFs and was 5th in the Championships. Sponsors include M&Ms and Susan G Komen For The Cure. Rank #11

Denny Hamlin of Midlothian, Virginia was born November 18, 1980 and drives the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 11 Toyota. Denny had 36 starts, 1 win, 18 top tens, 1 DNF and was 12th in the Championships, sponsors include that of FedEx, Coca-Cola, Joe Gibbs Racing, TRD, Toyota and Willey X Sunglasses. Rank #12

Matt Kenseth of Cambridge, Wisconsin was born March 10, 1972 and drives the Roush Fenway Racing No. 17 Ford. In 2007 Matt had 36 starts, 2 wins, 22 top tens, 4 DNFs, and he was 4th in the Championships. Sponsors include Gatorade, Kraft, Ford, Sherwin Williams, and MRO. Rank #9

Dale Earnhardt Jr. of Kannapolis, North Carolina was born October 10, 1974 and drives the Hendrick Motorsports No. 88 Chevrolet. Dale had 36 starts, 12 top tens, 9 DNFs, and was 16th in the Championships. In 2008 Dale decided to leave the company founded by his dad and move to Hendrick Motorsports. Sponsors include Remington, The Outlaw, Snap-on and Budweiser. Rank #10

Carl Edwards of Columbia, Missouri was born August 15, 1979 and drives the Roush Fenway Racing No. 99 Ford. He had 36 starts, 3 wins, 15 top tens, 4DNFs, and was 9th in the Championships, Sponsors include Charter Communications, Roundup, MacTools, and Superchips. Rank #2

Martin Truex Jr. of Mayetta, New Jersey was born June 20, 1980 and drives the Dale Earnhardt Inc. No. 1 Chevrolet. He had 36 starts, 1 win, 14 top tens, 4 DNFs and finished 11th in the Championships. Sponsors include Enterprise, American Airlines, Hampton, SPRO, Motorsports Authentics, Behr Designs and Bec-Car Printing Company. Rank #17

Jeff Burton of South Boston, Virginia was born June 29, 1967 and drives the Richard Childress Racing No. 31 Chevrolet. Jeff had 36 starts, 1 win, 18 top tens, 3DNFs and was 7th in the Championships. Jeffs Sponsors include AT&T, Lenox and Prilosecotc. Rank #4

And of course rank #1 is Jimmie Johnson but, if you’re a hardcore fan you wouldn’t even have to take a guess at why! In 2007 he had 36 starts, 10 wins, 24 top tens, 4DNFS and he was the NEXTEL Cup Championship. As a third consecutive championship Jimmie and crew chief Knaus will not make the same mistakes that caused the suspensions and penalties that they had last season. The two men work as a team very well and plan on improving their game plan a little better this year!

Best Nascar scanner?

Is renting a Sprint FanView at the track worth it or should I buy just a scanner from RadioShack? I only attend the races at Lowes Motor Speedway so I only use it 3 times a year. Has anyone used the FanView and does it have 2 headsets?

I would buy The one at Radio Shack!!!!!

Nascar 2008 Ps3

March 16th, 2009 admin No comments

What are some great PS3 Titles?

Other than Little Big Planet, Metal Gear Solid 4, Call of Duty 4, SOCOM Confrontation, Nascar 09, Fifa 08, Beijing 2008, Soul Calibur 4, Grand Theft Auto 4, The Eye of Judgement, Motor Storm or MADDEN 09 Collecters Edition.

Uncharted Drakes Fortune. Uncharted 2 will be even better.

Killzone 2, very impressive game.

Dead Space, a really good survival horror with some nice touches, like having all your characters health and power integrated in his suit instead of on the screen, and a heads up display for other information which only appears when you want it to. Very creepy and fun too:)

Gran Turism Prologue/HD, is short but good too, but I would wait a couple of months and get Gran Turismo 5:)

Resistance 2, a lot less difficult than Killzone 2, but a very good game, online is very good, and is good introduction to people who haven’t played online FPS before, because it’s very user friendly.

Tomb Raider Underworld.

GRID, very good street racing game.

Burnout Paradise, must have game for racing game fans, loads of things to do online as well, and lots of trophies to get too.

InFamous. A bit easy, and not spectacular, but very good all the same.

Ratchet & Clank, Tools of Destruction

Resident Evil 5. I don’t like it as much as Resi 4, but it’s still very good, it’s best played online with another player playing the other character, it really is pretty good then.

Prince of Persia, a bit girlie, but lots of acrobatic climbing, exploring, collecting, puzzle solving and fighting, very pretty graphics.

I have these games myself, and I wouldn’t part with any of them.

If you like cute, funny games with full screen two player co-op, all the Lego games are good too:)
