Do you hate driving games and think they get much more credit than they really deserve? I do. I know that’s not something a man should really be admitting to, but I feel like it’s an important point. I’ve just never really got on with them and I can’t really tell you why that is. I suppose I just always found them a bit boring. The attraction was lost on me.

Until my brother managed to convince me that Forza Motorsport 3 was actually really good. I didn’t believe him, of course—why would I? There was no reason I should since I was such an expert on hating driving games! For about ten minutes I was convinced it was the same old boring driving about macho look-at-me thing. And then I started getting in to it. I was soon hooked!

OK, I’d be a massive liar if I told you this game wasn’t pretty similar to other driving games. Of course it is. How different can you make a driving game and still keep it within the realm of driving games? Well, Forza is a bit different. It has cool features such as this: 1) you can take your car around the world’s most infamous racing circuits and 2) you can also drive your car the wrong way around them and smash in to all the other cars. That’s the bit I enjoy. I sit there while my brother goes racing around the track, and then I accelerate full force in to him, giving me immense joy and making him very angry!

One last thing, I need to congratulate myself. I have just bought the most delightful brooks running shoes that I have ever owned. London Marathon, here I come!
