I was contacted by the engineer of the Speed Freek product available from Kontrol Freek.  He asked if I would be interested in giving the Speed Freek a try and write up a little review of the product, which I glady accepted.  Unfortunately for him, i recieved it just in time for the Halo 3 release - so I haven’t gotten to give it enough time for a full review.

Last night I started gathering some times on Forza Motorsport 2 time trials based on my best times on a track over a course of 10 laps.  Giving me time to get familar with the controller again, the track, and the car’s handling.  I plan to do the same exercise with the same cars, same number of laps, with the speed freek attached - to see if it can improve even my rather poor skills in racing games.  I have a few other racing games, and perhaps even some non-racing games in mind if time permits.

I plan to have the review completed and available before the end of this weekend, depending on how busy I get with the family, and the after-hours work I am doing to cover an upcoming trip - it might be delayed a bit, but I think its doable.
