Abstract: Although the Need for Speed series has historically featured high-speed chases and thrill-based gameplay, last year's Need for Speed: Shift heralded a literal shift for the series into simulation territory. Many gamers (including myself) were wowed by thi...
But there is no point looking down to the few flaws in this otherwise masterfully executed game, because Criterion’s newborn doesn’t really try to hide its shortcomings – Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit knows that enough strengths can make such things irre...
Abstract: Need for Speed is a franchise that has been kicking around for a long time now with no real push forward in any regard; the series has been diluted down again and again in different variations and the most recent efforts have been the equivalent to rec...

Abstract: Arguably, the most successful and long-lasting game franchises are those that allow the player to engage in wish fulfillment. Consider Madden NFL: how many millions of us dream of being on the sidelines, calling plays for a top-tier NFL team? How many ...
Incredibly exciting throughout, with a wide variety of event types; Autolog redefines the social experience for console racers; stellar presentation throughout with very accessible user interfaces.
Cinematic approach can diminish the flow of races; questionable opponent A.I. mannerisms put players at a disadvantage at times.
