Gamer: Need For Speed Rivals To Arrive On PS4 And XBox One

One series that’s struggled just below the top ranks of Forza and GT is Need For Speed. The old series was making waves three-and-a-half years before the original Gran Turismo arrived on our shores, but a string of lackluster or overly arcade-like titles and paired with a few critical misses have taken the shine off this old series. Need For Speed Rivals, due out on PC, XBox 360, and Playstation 3 on November 19, takes the series back to the halcyon days of Hot Pursuit, when the racing was between drivers and police.

Gamer: Dirt Showdown Trailer

Colin McRae’s beloved racing series “DiRT,” is making a departure from its established formula in the form of DiRT Showdown. The previous installments have been based firmly in reality, with rally racing taking center stage, as it should given the Colin McRae legacy. The latest DiRT project is taking a step in a different direction, a more violent direction, and we’re okay with that.

Gamer Gear: Wireless Speed Wheel For XBox 360

In anticipation of our upcoming review of Forza Motorsport 4 for the XBox 360, we’ve taken to finding ways to improve our virtual driving experience. Sure, using the regular controller works fine, but we prefer the feel of a wheel in our hands. We love the force feedback wheels we’ve used, but they are clunky, take up a lot of space, and are difficult to use unless attached to some solid piece of furniture. Now, we’ve come across a happy medium, the XBox 360 Wireless Speed Wheel.

Gamer: Will Porsche Make Its Gran Turismo Debut In GT5?

In the process of putting together the GT3R Hybrid article, we certainly couldn’t help but notice that the car was proudly displaying the Gran Turismo name and logo across its windscreen. Now, as any driving gamer worth his salt is sure to know, Porsche has been conspicuous by its absence from every version of GT thus far. Could it be that the German automaker has changed its stance on offering its products to the hordes of GT fans?

Gamer: Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Returns
