Only one I've seen due is Colin Mcrae Dirt 2. I enjoyed the first one even if the mechanics of the game was a bit poo.

Not sure about PGR5 but Forza 3 should be with us by the end of the year (fingers crossed), another one that looks interesting is the new Need For Speed - SHIFT which is supposed to be out in the autumn.
There was a thread recently:

Since the new F1 game is not going to be available until next year I think that's all we're going to get sadly.

Fuel and Dirt 2.

SHIFT looks to be pretty good, demo in summer, Super Car Challenge is another i believe but (see sig) for the biggies expected to both be shown at E3

Going to be a great E3 this year.

Think im going to borrow Grid sometime this week, cant wait till forza 3 ! Is there no infomation on it ? Is it looking like we wont be seeing a PGR 5 ? Im suprised these games are taking so long to come out. Bit worrying there isnt any infomation on them yet

Whats this F1 game which is ment to be coming out for the 360 then ?

Codemasters are developing it now.
It's due out for the Wii and PSP at the end of the year but won't be on PC, Xbox and PS3 until next year. There is some info out there on the Wii and PSP version but nothing yet for the others...

On Forza 3, microsoft are playing their cards pretty close to their chest - in fact they haven't even officially announced it yet! However, the rumours are that it will have over 100 tracks and somewhere in the region of 400 cars and this week it appears a partially covered logo from it was 'accidently' shown at a Brazilian conference:

Yes indeed, it looks like Sony and Microsoft will be firing the big guns on a great duel at E3. Cant wait, exciting stuff, both are expected to be shown and details released, lets hope its going to be a great E3 with both companies trying to out do the other.

Remember GT5P has been out almost 18 months (by this Summer) and we know really nothing concrete about either game.
Like FM3 we havnt seen a single screenshot and GT5 is expected to of improved graphically since Prologue.

Need For Speed Shift however is looking to be a decent PGR+GRID game combined but with stonking graphics.
No PGR5 aparently...
