How about you run away from this atrocity...

I thought this was an awesome game that I got for Christmas once, and I thought I'd enjoy it. It gave me average qualities, tho. This game, like Black Box's previous titles, is extremely rushed. Not o… Read more

Worth a play unless you're a purist.

Call me crazy, but I kind of like it. If you go into it expecting all the things you normally get from a racing game, you'll be disappointed, and I can see why some people hated this. I don't blame th… Read more

Need for Something different

Racing games are not normally my cup of tea. Just never been into them. However the premise of this game has always tugged at me. It's basically the "Cannonball Run", a cross country race across Ameri… Read more

Need For Speed: The Run is a lesson in terrible storytelling

Completely ineffective storytelling is one of Need for Speed: The Run 's many faults. While I don't require my racing games to have elaborate and believable stories, I do expect them not to feel like… Read more

Black Box returns to Need for Speed with limited success

The Need for Speed franchise has been in a weird spot for quite a few years. Ever since Need for Speed: Prostreet, the franchise has had some identity issues. In the following years, two more develope… Read more

Review: Need for Speed -The Run

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted a driving game to feature driving from one side of a country to the other. I often thought how cool it would be to map out the terrain as realistic as… Read more
