Reviews F1 2012 Review

While licenced games do have their obvious perks, one of the big fears around such titles is that, over a series, they can get a bit stale after a while: when a body governs how much you can get away with, it’s only a matter of time before you reach the edges of the box. Check out […]

You can't blame people for being skeptical about annual releases. Time and time again we've seen developers lazily release sequels year after year showing little evolution, with relatively minor new features added just to fill up marketing spiel on the back of the box.
