nfs is the best car game series imo carbon is good but most wanted's driving is more realistic but theres no drifting in it:( i can play hot pursuit 2 all day even though it is a couple years old. madden is another game where i can play for hours on end when my schedule allows it, a couple of people i kno have halo and r really into it but i dont see what the big deal is, socom imo is the best multi player game
