News Video: was Need for Speed: Most Wanted’s universal praise undeserved?

Last week, our review of Need for Speed: Most Wanted was published on this very website, which prompted VVV's resident chief Alan Boiston to take it out for a spin to see what all the fuss was about. It seems he wasn't quite as enamoured with the game as I was, however, finding fault with […]

Reviews Need for Speed: Most Wanted Vita Review

Need for Speed Most Wanted on Vita is something of a rarity. While many high profile games are handed over to alternative developers who then churn out a shoddy handheld port that disgraces the franchise (*cough* Call of Duty: Declassified *cough*), Criterion Games decided to buck the trend and develop Most Wanted for Vita entirely […]

News Urban Trial Freestyle video playthrough

For too long, PlayStation owners have been deprived of the clinically-addictive Trials Evolution, a deceptively simple bike game that's equally loved and loathed by the millions of players that have downloaded it on XBLA.

Reviews Need for Speed: Most Wanted Review

EA should be thankful to Criterion for pulling Need for Speed out of the ditch it wedged itself into. For years, the series was veering dangerously off course as EA: Black Box attempted to steer it in erratic new directions, churning out annual releases that depleted in quality with each passing iteration. Clearly, this was […]

News Carmageddon Reincarnation to be released on next-gen consoles

As we know, Carmageddon is getting a belated reboot in the form of Carmageddon Reincarnation, a relatively low-key release that was due to be a PC-download only title thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised $400.000 to fund the development. However, Carmageddon could now be getting a more celebrated comeback, as a new private […]

News Fanatec unveils Rennsport Cockpit V2

German peripheral manufacturer Fanatec has unveiled V2 of its revered Rennsport racing Cockpit.

In the first of a series of forthcoming gameplay trailers, Codemasters […]

Reviews Forza Horizon Rally DLC Review

Forza Horizon has garnered considerable praise for its fresh spin on the open world racing genre with its perfect balance between arcade accessibility and deep driving mechanics, but if there was one area that felt underdeveloped, it was off-roading. Considering this was Forza’s first foray off-road, it was disappointing to find Horizon’s garage was somewhat […]

News First MotoGP ’13 gameplay video

After teasing us with a series of sumptuous screenshots, Milestone has finally released the first snippet of gameplay footage of MotoGP '13, giving us a tour of the scenic Mugello circuit.

News Milestone showcase detailed Yamaha bike models for MotoGP ’13

As Milestone prepare their comeback for the MotoGP series, information has been fleeting since its initial announcement. While some in-game screenshots have surfaced, they lacked one somewhat crucial factor in a MotoGP game: bikes. Instead, their purpose was to showcase the lovingly-detailed circuits which look sublime, but, since the models were presumably at an early […]

News Gran Turismo 6 coming to PS3?

With the dawn of the next generation PS4 fast approaching and Polyphony's prolonged silence on a Gran Turismo sequel, you would think that they are surely busy beavering away testing the PS4 and its potential to render every cross stitching on the car interior's leather upholstery with increased clarity. According to Sony Europe's Senior Vice […]

Reviews Forza Horizon Review

Remember the Top Gear episode where Clarkson and co went on a road trip to find the greatest driving road? Playground Games presumably did.

News Top Gear Series 19 Episode 3 Review

After two entertaining, but somewhat unremarkable episodes, we arrive at episode three of Top Gear’s nineteenth series. Thankfully, while it’s still evident that the show has passed its peak and run out of ideas, this was an improvement over the past two episodes that, at times, rekindled the old series’ spirit. Clarkson resumed his role […]

News Real World Racing demo launches with online multiplayer beta

Those of you who followed our 2013 racing game preview may remember Real World Racing, an innovative indie project by Milan-based developer Playstos.

News WRC Powerslide trailer confirms March release

We'll be the first to admit that the announcement of WRC Powerslide took us by surprise.

News Top Gear Series 19 Episode 1 Review

There are two distinct audiences in the Top Gear camp.

Then there's those who digest it as enchanting entertainment on a Sunday night, tuning in to witness […]

Reviews WRC3 Vita Review

Until recently, Sony’s slow-starting PlayStation Vita handheld was sorely lacking in decent driving games. The usually reliable Ridge Racer turned out to be a shameful cash-in completely stripped of content, Asphalt: Injection was irrefutably expensive for what was essentially an expanded port of a cheap-as-chips mobile game and the least said about the sloppy port […]

News Logitech to cease manufacturing console gaming peripherals

Logitech has announced it will no longer be manufacturing console gaming peripherals by the end of 2013.

As we suspected, Urban Trial Freestyle is […]

News Trials Evolution Gold Edition landing on PC March 21st

Trials Evolution may be known as a signature series on XBLA that has players hooked on its criminally addictive trial and error-based bike gameplay, but did you know the series originally started out on PC?

News F1 Race Stars DLC adds four new fantasy track packs

I've said it before and I'll say it again: playing F1 Race Stars is like watching F1 after some serious substance abuse. Case in point: the once familiar frolics on F1's famous circuits have suddenly morphed into races staged on bright and cartoony fantasy tracks filled with random loop the loops and stomping robotic dinosaurs.

Of course, it's easy to see Ruf as a substitute for when […]

Reviews Spy Hunter Vita Review

Those of you who are a bit older than me will probably have fond memories of wasting your precious pocket money on Spy Hunter.

Fanatec recently had a new addition to their line-up of racing peripherals with the launch of the CSL seat. Inspired by an original seat of the GTR series, it features six different adjustable positions and premium quality micro-fibre carpeting.
