News The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is coming to Assetto Corsa

Kunos Simulazioni’s Marco Massarutto has confirmed that the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio will be joining Assetto Corsa in 2017. Massarutto confirmed the news on FaceBook, but hasn't disclosed an exact date.

Reviews Carmageddon: Max Damage review

When you think of Carmageddon, you automatically associate it with controversy. Indeed, the series regularly appears in ‘top 10 most controversial games of all time’ list features for its graphic depictions of 3D pedestrian-pummelling violence that were genuinely shocking at a time when Grand Theft Auto was a tame-looking 2D game. It’s a shame, because […]

News Ride 2’s future DLC will include 18 free bikes

Milestone's post-release support has been heavily criticised in past releases. Purchase a season pass for last year's Ride, and the content on offer was slim pickings to say the least. With Ride 2 however, that's about to change. Milestone has outlined their DLC plans for Ride 2, confirming that the game will be supported […]

News TrackMania Turbo’s free VR update includes 40 exclusive tracks

Apart from DriveClub VR, the PlayStation VR's launch line-up has been lacking in racing games to take advantage of the technology. But DriveClub VR has its setbacks with its downgraded graphics, and while Moto Racer 4 recently launched with PSVR compatibility, it was limited to just two game modes. Thankfully, PSVR owners now have another […]

News Asphalt Xtreme takes the mobile racing series off-road

The long-running Asphalt series has returned to mobiles with the free-to-play release of Asphalt Xtreme, taking the series off-road for the first time.

News Moto Racer 4’s VR is playable in two game modes at launch

Moto Racer 4 is the latest racing game to get the PSVR treatment, making it the only VR-enabled bike racing game currently available. There is a slight snag, though: the only modes that support VR are Time Attack and Hot Lap, meaning you can't race against opponents in VR. However, Microïds and Artefact Studios has assured […]

News Gran Turismo Sport will support 4K and HDR on PS4 Pro

You've probably forgotten, but the PlayStation 4 Pro is out in a matter of days. To be fair, we wouldn't blame you: the benefits of Sony's 4K console have been poorly communicated, to say the least. Existing PS4 games will apparently benefit from the extra horsepower, but we haven't seen enough demonstrations that convince us […]

Reviews WRC 6 review

Let’s get this out of the way: WRC 6 isn’t in the same league as the revered DiRT Rally. Such comparisons are inevitable, unfortunately, since Codemasters’ critically acclaimed passion project set the standard for rally games this year.

Previews Gas Guzzlers Extreme needs more fuel in the tank on Xbox One

I'll admit I was looking forward to the belated release of Gas Guzzlers Extreme on consoles, which was recently announced three years after its original release on PC.
