The Mojave circuit provides a decent challenge with its complex and technical nature which includes both high and low speed sections […]
NewsRacing fans attending EGX this year probably had the likes of Forza Motorsport 6 and Need for Speed high on their agenda, but ridiculously long queues meant you were lucky to get on anything else. Case in point: it took me about two hours to get onto Star Wars: Battlefront. I could have watched one […]

Fact is, Gamescom would be great if it wasn't swamped with so […]
NewsIf you want to showcase the graphical prowess of a racing game, weather effects are a pretty effective method. DriveClub is the current benchmark: watching the dynamic water droplets drizzle down the windscreen is a spectacular sight that still blows us away. Wet weather is also one of Forza Motorsport 6's headline new features, and […]

NewsConsidering Mad Max Fury Road was essentially one long car chase rife with vehicular mayhem, crazy cars and equally zany characters, its premise seems like a natural fit for a video game adaptation.
