Now, I’m not a big Wheel of Fortune fan, but there must be some out there for Sony to sock the $ into making this game and then releasing it. Then again, if you think about it, Sony doesn’t have to worry about packaging costs since they’re releasing it on the PSN.
Whatever.
Just because it’s not my cup of tea doesn’t mean that you won’t love it.
Horse Racing Sims

In honor of the 140th racing of the Belmont Stakes, I figured that I would give you a short list [in no particular order] of horse racing games. You know, cause if you can’t actually race a horse you might as well play a sim of racing a horse.
#1 Gallop Racer 2006 - Available for the PS2 and it got a rating of B- from 1up.
#2 Horse Racing Tycoon - For PC and it’s definitely a “bargain” at 7 bucks.
#3 Final Stretch-Horse Racing Sim - This bastard is $59.86…hope it’s worth the dough.
#4 Quarter Pole Thoroughbred Racing - I used to play this dude on my Tandy.
If those four games don’t satisfy your horse racing sickness then you can always watch the Belmont. Even though Casino Drive is scratched, it’s sure to be a great race…maybe even a historic race if Big Brown wins.
The race will be televised live on ABC at 5pm EST.
