Today is a big day for fans of the magnificent Gran Turismo series for Playstation. Gran Turismo 5 is finally here! As gamers the world over eagerly unwrap GT 5 for PS3 we can't help but feel a tad jealous. With iPad gaming still in its infancy it's just too early to expect a driving simulation that can equal the detail and realism of GT5.

We may not have GT 5, but we do have the surprisingly complete GT Racing: Motor Academy HD from Gameloft. If you've not picked up Motor Academy HD now's your chance. For a limited time Gameloft have lowered the price of the iPad version to just $0.99 (£0.59)!

In our view this is one of the best iPad bargains of the year. Snap it up while you can!

Thanks to NuRevu for the excellent video review.
