We've seen plenty of Project CARS on its home PC platform where it truly shines, but we've yet to see how it compares on PS4 in motion. Gamescom was therefore a golden opportunity for Slightly Mad Studios to showcase their baby to PS4 players pining for a serious racing game in the absence of Gran […]

If we're being honest, DriveClub's showing at last year's Gamescom was a tad underwhelming.

Fast forward one […]

Over the past week I’ve been getting behind the wheel on a range of cars for Codemasters upcoming Grid Autosport, first to test the cars and get an idea on handling, then we’ll look to the wide array of options and game structure. Suffice to say that at this stage the handling features a much […]

Racing games don't come more controversial than Carmageddon. In 1997, it was up there with GTA in the video game nasties hall of fame.

MXGP is released on Friday and you’ll all finally have an opportunity to get a hands-on Milestone’s latest foray into the world of biking.
