blogentry-114362-0-33012300-1419305103_thumb.jpgWe round up the coolest car video games for driving fans on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4 and Wii U

 

The latest car driving games offer certified car fans the chance to live out their behind-the-wheel fantasies without the expense of shelling out for a real car or even learning how to drive it.

The latest motorsport and driving simulators on Xbox, Playstation and Wii reach incredible levels of realism in the comfort and safety or your own home and online.

 

At a fraction of the price you’d have to pay for a car and time on a race track, a virtual video game alternative can provide car-based fun of any conceivable type, be it on the track, road or rally circuit.

It’s possible to spend hours on any given game to hone your skills, customise your ride and become a top driver. There are so many options to choose from, though, that you don’t want to waste your time playing an inferior product. That’s why we’ve played the top driving simulator titles on the market to arrive at this list of the best driving games on sale now. Best driving games: how we rated them

The 10 driving games we include here are available on a host of different consoles, so we used a PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and a Wii U as we played each title, trying multi-platform games on more than one games system where possible.

 

We were looking for realism in the games – not just in graphics and sound but also in terms of how cars are handled. It was important that games deliver an enthralling single player experience as well as convincing multi-player action.

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    Titan's Fall: Back to Square One

    Manchester United have once again signalled a restart with the sacking of Ten Hag, and just days later, announced the appointment of Ruben Amorim, who will join midway through the first half of the current season from Sporting Lisbon. Back to square one yet again for the Red Devils who, despite being one of the most successful clubs in England and biggest clubs in the world, have not won a league title since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013. Since then, they’ve gone through a whole ho

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 4)

    I recently finished watching Shōgun (yes, I'm a little bit late to the party). Released earlier this year, Shōgun has become an utter revelation - going on to win 18 Emmys at this year's Primetime and Creative Arts Emmys, making it the most awarded single season of television in history. It's also the first non-English-language series to win Outstanding Drama Series.  And it truly is outstanding, fully deserving of all the awards that it has garnered.  As you would expect, the show rev

    Hard Enduro: The ultimate motorsport?

    I enjoy motorsports of all kinds - four wheels good, two wheels better. And while watching them on TV (okay let's be honest Youtube, who even watches TV nowadays) is fun, getting to partake in anything even remotely resembling it, even in a highly truncated, totally superficial manner, is even more exciting.  Earlier this year, I did a short 2.5 day off-road riding 'tour', and it was easily the hardest, most physically demanding 2.5 days I've ever spent on a motorbike. It really gives you a
