First up was Gran Turismo 5.  Yes, I am a sucker for the series.  Yes, I know it does not have the best racing.  Yes, I could really care less.  I just enjoy the series.<\/p>\n<p>At this point I am still not very far in the game.  I have the C series completed, but need to get a Gold Trophy in a couple of events.  Cappaccino Time Target; I am still a little over a second from Silver.  Honda Integra Mission Race (the one at Daytona); I am 1.1 seconds from passing the lead car.  Maybe this says I suck.  Don\u2019t know, but I enjoy the challenge of trying to overtake at Daytona.<\/p>\n<p>I have also spent some quality time with Super Stardust HD.  This game is only of my all time favorite shooters.  My score of 5 point something million is only good for mid 50K on the leader board.  Doubt I will ever get much better, but you never know.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I download the NCAA Football 09 demo, but have only spent a few minutes with the game.  My only real thoughts at this point are that the graphics look a lot better.  The semi-cartoony look of the 08 game is a thing of the past.<\/p>\n<p>All for now.  Good gaming!<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time in 6-8 weeks I decided to put something in the PS3 other than a Blu-ray movie.
