Drifting Video Games

Drifting in real life can be quite dangerous to both your person and your car. If you hit something you risk injuring yourself or others, but most likely you will have to pay thousands of dollars in order to get your car fixed. There is an awesome alternative that today’s technology can offer to any gearhead looking to have some fun drifting. Enter the drifting video game.

There are several awesome drifting video games and racing games available on todays most popular consoles such as Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. I’m just going to highlight a few of my favorites:

Gran Turismo Series:

This series is hands down the best racing video game series ever to be created, period. In the latest version Gran Turismo 4 had over 400+ cars for you to pick from. You can not only drifting in these games, but you can also drag race and road race as well. The graphics are incredibly and the simulation mode can be compared to no other.

Need For Speed Series:

Need For Speed has always been known for being more of an arcade style racing game with simplistic controls cool looking cars and an in-depth modification system. There have been several incarnations as of late and with the next next generation consoles I expect there to be a ton more totally awesome Need For Speed video games.

Forza Motorsport

This game is the Xbox 360’s answer to Sony’s Gran Turismo series. Featuring an indepth car tuning mode and a selection of several hundred cars these games are also incredible in terms of graphics and gameplay. Some say these drifting video games can even rival Gran Turismo.

These have just been a few of my favorite drifting video games. If you haven’t already you should definitely look into playing some of these awesome games.
