Which console? You would be surprised how much games differ between platforms.

For your PC? If so, you can download demos of current games from the software vendor's sites, and I will post a few links in a moment.

I'm not well up on driving games, the last one I played was Grand Prix 4 but IMO, you do have to have a proper driving wheel and pedals to play them properly. I have a set in a cupboard somewhere gathering dust. So I think you might be frustrated and a tad disappointed with them.

First person shooters however, are easy to play with a keyboard and mouse, and will now post a few links to demo versions of a few of my recent favorites:

These will allow you to try before you spend £££ on a game you don't like.

Should have mentioned that Crysis and FEAR do require a pretty high spec machine to play properly.

Excellent FPS for Windows, Mac and Linux... click here for the download. It's free, and online or single-user.

Must say that i've recently got into FPS games(thanks to the wii) and am now looking for better ones. Having bought the wii and RE4 (the only game ever i've spent so much time on) i'm now a little disgruntled because of the lack of decen't fps games. Now eagarly awaiting Alone in the Dark.

Bought Far Cry for the pc but it keeps freezing, so got it on the wii, and yep it's simple but i enjoy it.

Will check out the free demos for the pc.

Regards
