Need For Speed: The Run sees EA Black Box (Skate 3, Need For Speed: ProStreet) take over development duties for the first time since 2008′s Need For Speed Undercover, in a cannonball-run chase across the United States from San Francisco to New York. The Run will see you take Jack Rourke – who owes a lot of money to the [...]

Based on the Disney/Pixar Cars 2 animated feature film, this game is all about racing cars, using gadgets and training to be a world-class spy. This sounded like perfect child-gaming fodder to me. With that in mind I handed it to my brother, Marcus and his 6-year old son, Flynn to see what they thought of it. Flynn’s Review: There [...]

A lot of the year I seem to be in San Francisco. I love it there. So when Driver: San Francisco came around Debbie passed it my way for reviewing. The story starts with you playing John Tanner, star of the complete Driver series with your faithful partner Tobias Jones at your side, still chasing Charles Jericho through various parts [...]

Let’s start this article with a Top Tip. While playing MX vs ATV Alive, you might notice that your ears begin to bleed a little. Don’t worry! This is a perfectly normal reaction for your body to make against The Noise that the game produces. The Noise is all-pervasive. The Noise cannot be escaped. The Noise is generated by the [...]

I almost need to review Sega Rally twice. Once with the standard 360 controller and once with the set-up that Sega provided us when we visited them in August.
Why? Well, playing Sega Rally whilst sitting in a Sparco racing seat, with force-feedback steering wheel (and pedals) I was in driving heaven. It's perfect. You can feel every bump as your car drives over all the track deformations and as it power slides around another lovely corner.

There’s a new Sega Rally (a.k.a. Sega Rally Revo) coming out this September 28th, 2007. It’s good. We’ve played it. The Sega customer relations people gave us lots of info – some of it propaganda and some of it plain truth. We’ve filtered out most of the propaganda for you. Here’s what you need to know: It feels like the [...]

Age rating: 12+ (PEGI) What is it? It’s a rally game. Think Forza Motorsport or Gran Turismo but with lots of mud (and car damage). Is it fun? Yes. Is it worth the money? £39.99 from play.com Yep. Why? Car damage and speed, the 2 essential elements in any decent rally game. Fortunately Colin McRae’s DiRT has tons and tons [...]

What is it? Off-road driving game. Think WRC but with more vehicles. Is it fun? Yes, but frequently irritating as hell. Is it worth the money? £39.99 Yes. Why? I have some mixed feeling about this game. At times it makes me feel like “I am a driving God”. Seconds later it turns round and exacts its revenge for my [...]

Age rating: 3+ What is it? It’s a car racing game where you get speed boost in exchange for driving into oncoming traffic. Is it fun? Yes but not as much as Burnout 3, you spend more time skipping though the reward movies/menus sometimes than actually driving. At least that’s how it feels at times. Is it worth the money? [...]

Age rating: 18 What is it? Driving, kill-em up through the medium of cars, bikes, trucks, guns, emergency vehicles and even a helicopter! Is it fun? Yes, apart from the frequent annoying bits. Is it worth the money? £29.99 Yes, if you like GTA games, otherwise try before you buy, and yes it’s most definitely an 18 rated game. Why? [...]
