I am going to order a copy of G1 Jockey. Looks pretty cool, and the only chance in hell that I will ever be able to ride a race...

Some of the reviews say that it is too difficult because they have apparently put some thought and reality into the game, making some of the horses front-runner, some closers, etc., most of which horseplayers probably prefer. The reviews basically seem to say that it isn't like a basic race car game, where you just grab the remote and start playing, but instead have to think like a jockey/trainer and learn the game a bit.

I still need to order a copy...

I actually got that game for playstation 2, years ago. It's a pretty cool game. There are trainers that you ride for and each horse has a different running style. Supposedly there are spills (but I have never seen any). There are also inquiries and a quasi eclipse awards ceremony at the end of each year. I used play the game all the time with the regualr control. Maybe I will break it out tonight for old times.

See I gave my Wii to H, because (a) I sucked at it so bad and (b) the games weren't that exciting to me. She loves it, and we just downloaded some old skool games last night (which admittedly is my favorite feature).

Rock Band, on the other hand, is the greatest game EVARRRR.

My wife just wrapped it up for my son. If she only knew how excited I was about it!

they have to go the f**k home. Sorry you had to have your day ruined like that.
Too kind,Doc.

You certainly know talent when you see it.



And...I remove the right side of my brain when I come here as I love a challenge.


What do you recommend for insomnia?







If you say "sleep".......you will upset me.

Matt - glad your day sucked. It made me realize how great mine was and until I read yours - it was only average.

Thanks for sharing.

Hey,Doc.

I appreciate your sense of urgency and concern....but never mind.


The Browns game was the cure.
