I have been in an absolutely delightful mood this week.
You see, 5 years and 9 months ago, Gran Turismo 4 was released on the PlayStation 2, and much win was had.
On the PlayStation 3, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue came out on April 15, 2008, giving us a small taste of potential future win.
Last Wednesday, Gran Turismo 5 finally arrived.
After 2 hours of Deerfoot-ing my way home at 3kph, after a late meeting at work and in horrendous driving conditions, I arrived at Wal-Mart and sprinted across the parking lot and then inside towards the electronics department of my beloved Supercenter.
After a few gut-wrenching seconds of searching for a blue-vested angel, I located one of the celebrated celestial beings and informed him of what I required. His reaction to my request was not unlike that of a heroin addict's to a 5kg gift-bag of smack, and he cheerfully pranced over to the locked games cabinet. We briefly discussed how long it had been since Gran Turismo 4 on the way back to the checkout, and after he rang it through, I dashed back to the car and broke several traffic laws to get home.
Words cannot describe the awesomeness of this game, but I will give it my most offensive and blasphemous try:
If somebody offered me free, front-row, floor seats to the Second Coming of Jesus Comeback Tour, I would decline in favor of staying home and playing GT5.
GT5 has everything. I could bore you with the details of Karting, NASCAR, or World Rally Championship racing, how there are 1,031 cars, or how you can race VW Buses around the Top Gear Test Track at a blistering 75kph, but it's not necessary.
All that needs to be said is that the best part about the game is that you don't even have to race to enjoy it. Gran Turismo 5 is simply the best experience out there for any car enthusiast.
Without this game, your life will be forever rendered a shriveled, worthless husk of sadness.
Go buy it. Now.
That's all I have this week, I can't be away from GT5 to write anything else.
Below are some shots of a few of my cars that I took during replays and in photo mode.
