As General Vulture can attest, I have what I call "Gamer-Based ADD". It's never just one game with me; it's many. Actually, I am on Adderall XR, so perhaps there is some ADD/ADHD in me. Anyway, here's how I've been getting my game-on:

Gran Turismo (PSP)

F1 2009 (PSP)

DiRT 2 (PSP)

NASCAR (PSP)

Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror Demo (PSP)

Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow Demo (PSP)

F1 2002 (PS2)

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 (PS2)

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 (GCN)

Note: The reason I listed Hot Pursuit 2 twice instead of once with "(PS2/GCN)" after it is because, if you've never played one version or the other, they're quite different. Although the overall pieces are the same, they are set up far differently. Many of the mechanics of the games are different. It's hard to say which of the two versions is better.

Graphics — The XBox/GCN version can reach a higher framerate than the PS2 version, but the PS2 version maintains a steady 30fps. Also, the XCube version has brighter, richer colors (especially "Fall Winds" circuit), but looks more like an acrylic painting; whereas the PS2 version has a somewhat-drabber-yet more realistic look.

Gameplay — The PS2 version allows you two different types of handling: Classic and Extreme. Classic makes the car a bit easier to control — mainly for novices — where Extreme makes the handling much looser; thus allowing the experienced gamer the ability to take corners at a higher speed. The XCube version does not. The PS2 version gives you the option to turn damage off in single-race mode. The XCube version does not.

Mechanics — The unlock system is possibly the most significant difference. To unlock cars, tracks, etc, in the PS2 game: complete level/tier of branching World Tour or Hot Pursuit Mode. Example: Looking at a locked car/track on the PS2 version, a message will tell you what you need to do to access said car/track. The XCube version simply lets you rack up as many points as you can, and then BUY everything you want with the points you accumulated in…any race. Lastly, once a car is unlocked in the PS2 version, you can select different color paint schemes for the car. Not so in the XCube version. YUCK! I have two McLaren's: the F1 and F1 LM. The F1 is purple (black is what I use in the PS2 version) and the F1 LM is an ugly diarrhea-green (I use either blue or red).

Miscellaneous — The courses are laid out quite differently on both versions. In saying that, I like the PS2's version of Fall Winds better than the XCube's version. Also, when selecting the number of laps — PS2: 2,4,6,8. XCube: 2,3,4,5,6,7,8.

On balance: I guess I'd have to say I like the PS2 version better.

Been playing some old Source engine games, such as Day Of Defeat, forgot how much fun this game was.
