Evo. It's moderately fast, handles awesomely, looks good, sounds good. Camaro seems a lot slower, harder to control and I"m not really impressed by the looks or sounds. I haven't used the Gallardo yet but it apparently sucks. Actually..its the weird AWD feature that messes everything up AWD Fea...

The games are usually average, but their business tactics are the most horrible in the industry. There has been the occasional excellent games, but usually done by companies EA bought out or published for. EA in house games are usually horrible. Get em out the door, make em pay.

It's weird, once you've been using the keyboard for so long its actually rather hard to use a steering wheel. I do have a wheel, albeit a crappy one (really old Microsoft wheel) and I have used it on Most Wanted and NFSU2 before. I can't play the game with it though, it doesn't react quick enough fo...

Honestly you'll need a lot more than $300 to build a PC. Use that money to get a good CPU and motherboard. You'll have to save up for the rest.

I honestly can't say that I care either way. I would like to compare it to Juiced, but I gave up that game very early on. I can't remember why, it must have sucked. As long as we do get crew's, I'm happy. Soon I'll be able to tend to my fleet of muscle cars :)

After last night, I'm gonna agree with the thread starter. Earl is a pain in the ass. That little Evo moves. I had to do the Speedtrap race about 8 times before beating him, and the Sprint race about 15 times. It's very hard to stay ahead, and once you do he is very good at getting around you. Lots ...

I'm fine with using the keyboard, of course I would prefer a wheel however. The drawback to using the keyboard is that there's no pressure sensitivity, so launching a car right is nearly impossible (forget hitting a perfect shift off the line unless you're lucky). It also makes cop chases very hard ...

Start by putting an exhaust fan in the back of the case. Follow this with an intake fan in the area under the hard drives, in the front of the case. This will pull cool air through the front of the case, up and over the graphics card exhausting it through the back. An ideal setup is 2 fans in the ba...

According to everything I've seen as well, yes. I believe there was an official announcement about it awhile ago. Welcome to games by EA. It seems to be their thing to make things obsolete, what with their multiple game expansion packs and sequels.
