|  Vauxhall Line-up for Forza xBox360 Release
 Lots of great stuff from Forza town this week. First of all, Turn 10 has officially announced the Forza Motorsport 2 online auction house. The auction house, as its name suggests, will let players buy and sell their customized rides. All the purchases are made using the in game currency, so it won't set you back any real cash.
The best part: users can participate in auctions using a PC. That's right, you can track your auction even while you're at work! The auction house keeps track of all your car's stats, including miles driven, number of races, number of wins, etc. Since paint can be locked to a specific car, all cars can be truly unique. The auction house is set to be a very nice addition to Forza2.
Finally, Turn 10 has revealed wave two of Forza's new vehicles. More European cars this week, including the Vauxhall Astra VXR, Monaro VXR and VX220 Turbo.
Full story and list of other Euro cars included in the game is here.

| yes this time it has cosmetic damage, minor damage+cosmetic and simulation mode+cosmetic wich is lethal and (for the first time) if you smash into a wall at 100mph it will end your race in a hail of car parts as opposed to just some bent steering.
the game also supports 3 screens (if your rich enough to own 3 360's lol)
it also makes full use of the wireless force feedback wheel. | |

| No - It is xBox360 only. The first Forza was amazing - you acctually had to drive the cars properly, took some time to get used to it mind. No braking on bends or accellerating too early! lol.
I've been waiting for this game for ages now. Also, you can mod the cars to race spec - and the mods are real life mods! I assume this means the VXR could be modified to a BTCC car - we shall see!  | |

Granted, I've cheated to get loads of money then just gone crazy with mods, but half the fun is tuning to get the best out of those mods and the other half is trying to get it to go round a track!
I can't wait for Forza 2. I think we'll be locking ourselves in my mates room with his plasma telly, the 360 and the racing wheel and living on whatever Dominoes deliver to us.

No-one loves the PS3 anymore. It was released last night at midnight.
They sold 80 in Sydney. 80.
They've left it too long, everyone's got sick of waiting and bought a Wii or a 360 instead. Plus, no mortal can afford one. | |
