Why are rear wheel drive cars hard to control(somewhat video game based)?

I have been playing some Gran Turismo 5 and Forza Motorsport 3(racing simulators) and reading some car magazines. I don't drive in real life yet. What I know is, Cars with rear wheel drive, engine in the front are really hard to control. Especially driving sports cars, I always lose control when steering and spin out of control. So what I do is I drive 4 wheel drives(like Audi R8, 2002 Nissan Skyline) and front wheel drives(like Mitsubishi 3000GT) but they understeer a lot. I want to be good at driving rear wheel drive cars like Ford GT, Porsche and not to spin out of control like everytime even though there is an easy turn. Any advice?
