It is because of the nice graphics. But unfortunaly no pc game is better than Call Of Duty MW 2 on xbox 360, so I am returning to the now ^^ Maybe I will play this game tomorrow sometime.

This half-crazed Volt fan boy, foaming at the mouth - was chugging down the highway in his JUGGERNAUT FUEL MURDERING V-8 TAHOE at breakneck speed to catch up to a fleet of ELECTRIC CARS most likely breaking into their own fossil fuel cycle puffing away on their range extenders supporting whirring air-conditioners!!!! Now THAT IS A THOUGHT-PROVOKING handful!!! hahaha/ Jim, God bless ya dude! You just pegged my irony meter, and hopefully as an EV enthusiast you'll put that Tahoe out to pasture, trade in the wife's Malibu for the Volt and ride happily off into that robust Nevada sunset! The pessimist in me ( remember the EV-1 - God rest it's soul ) says GM pre-meditates it's moves more than any serial killer - and the Volt is bound to flop in the marketplace, and it's planned obsolescence sealed as it lacks the practicability of a six to eight seat minivan or even a five seater Prius with it's larger hatch area and flat (narrow) rear seat. That GM got it's bailout money from us, and plows ahead putting profit making last century technology ( read Eco Tech ) Cruzes and Tahoes above all else. What with it's large pricetag-to-utility ratio, it's almost doomed before it gets started. The optimist in me says - hey maybe GM has gotten on the peak oil, foreign enemy dependency, sustainable energy, clean, green bandwagon and opened it's enormous corporate eyes to the realities we now live in. Perhaps the Volt is only the tip of the technological iceberg and GM will incorporate what it learns from this experiment into larger, lighter, better EVs and Plug in EREVs using newer, better battery technologies coming down the pike - Toshiba's SCIB ( Super Charge Ion Battery ) or zinc air. Maybe we'll see full-sized trucks with extra cabs blasting down the highway on hydrogen fuel cells! ....NAYHHH.... We can dream can't we?

Jim, God bless ya dude! You just pegged my irony meter, and hopefully as an EV enthusiast you’ll put that Tahoe out to pasture, trade in the wife’s Malibu for the Volt and ride happily off into that robust Nevada sunset!

If the Volt can climb in that environment, imagine performance in the midwest!
