Are driving games back on track?

Racing games have been running low on new ideas, but 2009 has seen them come storming back to the front of the grid...

Forza Motorsport III (Xbox 360)

Any doubt that racing games are back in 2009 has been blown away by Forza III, perhaps the most complete and engrossing game experience for petrol heads of every level. Handling feels perfect, community features are spot on and, if you wish, you can customise till the cows come home.
