REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

GR's Best of 2006 Awards

Posted on Wednesday, January 3 @ 11:12:13 Eastern by Duke_Ferris

After a fast and furious 2005, the racing genre stalled a bit in 2006. The Xbox 360 was the only system with any noteworthy racers, no one else even got off the line. Even if they had, they probably would have been smoked by these two next-gen hot rods.

RACING GAME OF THE YEAR!

Test Drive Unlimited

Publisher: Atari
Developer: Eden Studios
Platform: Xbox 360

Back in the ‘70s, National Lampoon famously ruminated on the classic question of How to Drive Fast on Drugs While Getting Your Wing-Wang Squeezed and Not Spill Your Drink. Well wonder no further because the answer involves a girlfriend, a spliff, a beer, and a virtual Hawaiian island in Test Dive: Unlimited. With 100 different cars, next-gen technology and last-gen pricing, this driver easily takes the checkered flag.

RUNNER-UP!

Need for Speed: Carbon Publisher: EA Developer: EA Platform: Xbox 360
If you want the thrills without worrying about the spills, Need for Speed: Carbon on the 360 is pretty slick. A tuner's dream, there are about a million different ways to pimp your ride, then go online to play cops and robbers through the neon-lit streets of Palmont. With sweet graphics, tight controls, and easy-to-pick-up arcade racing, Carbon is a crowd pleaser.
