And to be really anally pedantic... you do have to change your oil in Gran Tourismo... what it does i don't know but it changes the bar back to a nice green instead of poo colour Don't forget crazy taxi, bonus points for almost causing mass pile ups! Oh and i can't remember the name of the game but there is one you get bonus points for causing mass pile ups i do believe?! Driving games are great!

They're STEERING games. Like when I was a little girl and my daddy would set me on his lap to steer the car. Only there's no one else to grab the wheel if you're headed for Mrs. Jones' mailbox. I don't suppose people do the kid-in-the-lap steering thing anymore due to all these laws now, so how else are you supposed to learn how to steer a car these days?

Duh! You can set up a study to show anything you like. Useless statistics. Anyway, back to the point. You'd get to deliver £500,000 modified porsche's to the rich people who've ordered them, and you only have 2 minutes to get it to them somewhere half way across the alpes, and you can totally thrash them before the owner has even seen it (Need for speed, Posche 2000). You'd also have a nitrous oxide kit whose NoS levels would increase after doing cool stunts (Need for speed underground).

You can also get "bonus points for artistic impression" :) Ryan: There is that great quote "If video games were real, then we'd all be influenced by pacman, walking around darkened coridoors listening to repetitive music munching pills that make us believe we're invincable. In other words, it's called clubbing" Oooh Good one JB. You can also get “bonus points for artistic impression” :)

That could fit in well on the roads today but change 'people' for 'chav scum'. What about gaining bonus points/extra time by running people over (carmageddon).

Computer games have no effect on me what so ever.
