Favorite Driving Game?
Since the common bond among us is what we drive, I thought I'd see if any of you like "driving" on the flatscreens. As per usual, my choices are older ones, but since that genre doesn't put out a ton of titles (like the shooters do), a lot of the most popular ones are often older ones. I'm one of the oddballs that only runs PC stuff, but I can run about any game on the highest settings (graphics-wise--I'm merely average on the playing side--LOL). I use a Logitech G27 wheel/pedal/shifter set-up (real steel and leather--sweet!). Please specify what format you're running, too--if there's a nice PC title you like, I may try it out.
Some of my favorites:
XPand Rally - Great physics model, very realistic to drive, great tracks on numerous surfaces, car mods make an immediate difference in feel and results
Dirt Track Racing 2 - Another fun driver on slippery surfaces (also Sprint Cars, from same company)
NASCAR Racing 2003 Season - Last of the series, extremely fun simulation-level driving, tracks are very challenging to learn
GTR and GTR2 - Lots of great sports cars and tracks, great sense of speed
Cabela's Off-Road Adventures 2 - Slow speed fun, great with force-feedback wheel (jerks around with every bump), simple graphics but fun change of pace

This wasn't what I was thinking when I clicked. Driving games I play with the wife include trying to spot 4th gen 4Runners since pretty much every other SUV around here is a 4th gen.
Another game is to spot any Alabama or Auburn license plates/bumper stickers.

I've never tried to play anything more than the play station type games and always on a normal controller, but all they have ever done for me is made me want to go drive a real car. Maybe more/better equipment would be different, but I think real life would still be better than simulation 99% of the time.

Saints Row - The 3rd - while not a true driving game, it sure is a lot of fun to run around and drop grenades everywhere while running over pedestrians!
