Ubisoft Reflections has brought Hi-Def graphics and a ‘Shift’ mechanic - where players can ‘fly’ in and out of vehicles - to the beloved Driver series.
Driver San Francisco sees gamers play detective John Tanner as he takes the wheel in more than 120 fully licensed and accurately rendered vehicles in a free-roaming, sandbox environment.
Forza Horizon 2 bursts out of the screen with buckets of arrogance. Opening with an ASMR-inducing cutscene that puts your back up, it presents you with a lead character that’ll make you grind your teeth out. It then continues to show off for the next hour or so, with its stunning visuals, vast array of cars and its constant reminders of its 'Drivatar's.

Forza Motorsport 2 is Microsoft's answer to Sony's much-admired Gran Turismo series and the follow up to the delightfully rendered Xbox original. That game caused more than a few ripples on its release, and is one of the reasons for hanging on to Microsoft's debut console. Well, make room now, get rid of the old and bring in the new with Forza 2. At the time of release, Forza is well ahead of...

Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, Grid 2 is all about high speed and fast reflexes. Don't go mistaking it for a Need for Speed knock-off, though.
The flashback feature, was the selling point of the first game. Having found its way into a number of games since then it's not massively unique any more, but tt does speak to the style of Grid 2. It's a tough game....

Juice Games is back with the follow-up to, well, Juiced. The developer's promising to evolve the street racing scene, bringing the real-life Hot Import Nights racing show - which focuses on tuner import cars and tours the U.S. - to the small screen.

EA's perennial ever-changing racing game is back, and for 2009 it's splitting into three strands, aimed at core, casual and free-play audiences. With Shift being the (hard)core title, the focus is on a more simulation style of gameplay, and EA is claiming that the game is built by racers, for racers. (Though in reality, it's probably built by programmers who race a little bit in their spare time...

Another Need for Speed game hitting our screens is an annual event as inevitable as Christmas itself. But in recent years EA has upped the ante with two or even three games per year. This year is no different, with Need for Speed The Run following on from last years spectacular NfS: Hot Pursuit in offering adrenaline pumping arcade racing thrill.
It's difficult to set apart a console racer. Some attempt to do it with laser-focused realism, some go for mad, over-the-top racing antics. With The Crew, Ubisoft is looking to set itself apart with masses of ambition.
First, the plot. Yes, this is one of those racing games with a plot. Your job is to infiltrate and overtake the 510s, a gang that's come up from Detroit's...
