Forza Motorsport 3

The next instalment, coming in October, offers pumped up visuals, error prone AI drivers and a rewind feature to undo nasty little incidents, like dates with the Armco.

It's been a long time coming, but Gran Turismo is finally coming to the PSP, and will be released both as a UMD and a download on 1 October in the US.

MotorStorm: Pacific Rift

More content and clever courses make Pacific Rift everything you'd want in a MotorStorm sequel.

Still hands-down the cutest franchise on the PSP, LocoRoco 2 adds enough new ideas to its already unique gameplay to make it a great improvement on the original game.
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

The second World of Warcraft expansion doesn't do anything for new players, but there's plenty of great content for anyone who's reached at least level 55.

Jamie Whincup talks tech and cars

Last year Jamie Whincup not only won the Bathurst 1000, but he was also crowned V8 Supercar champion for the first time. We sat down with him after yesterday's launch of the Norton 360 v3 and Symantec's announcement of its sponsorship deal for the Sandown V8 Supercar race.
