Interior, exterior and performance modifications are possible for vehicles, which compete in Circuit, Checkpoint and even Capture-the-Flag races. Midnight Club Los Angeles is backed by full online multiplayer support, so players can lay the smack down on friends and family, or strangers on the web.

This will be a hit for the gamer who wants to rebel behind the wheel and out-run police without the threat of real-life accidents and license revocation.

Grand Turismo Prologue

Grand Turismo 5 Prologue
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Platform: PLAYSTATION 3
Available: Now
Though there are no explosions, police chases or deadly lava flows, Grand Turismo 5 Prologue puts a serious focus on stunning graphics and a simulation-style racing experience. With both an 'arcade' and 'simulation' mode, the game aims to digitally build real life driving skills through a variety of structured licensing and competitive events.

Cars from manufacturers around the globe are fully tunable and customizable, and rendered with exceptional detail. Players can race their friends and opponents on digitized versions of real-world tracks, and online play is possible.

Though Grand Turismo 5 Prologue has been out a year now, it's set to be a future classic- not to mention a good way to tide gamers over until Grand Turismo 5 comes out sometime next year.
