Petrol head
Racing games are like London buses: you wait ages for one to pull up, and then several appear at once.

We're still not sure if Test Drive: Ferrari is an actual video game
Don't get us wrong, this new trailer looks conclusive enough, but the build-up to the game's supposed March release has been so odd. It's only with the release of this trailer that we can confirm Slightly Mad Studios as the developer. Prior to this evening, the Shift 2 developer was...

We weren't the biggest fans of Need For Speed Shift
Functionally it was fine, but the experience was laden with bugs that really shouldn't be present in a game billing itself as a simulation racer. As such, Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed hasn't exactly been on our radar. The game's Limited Edition trailer has us sold though. Why? Listen to the...

Let's be honest, when the early months of 2011 roll around, we'll probably all still be playing Gran Turismo 5 won't we? That's why we feel kind of sorry for Need For Speed: Shift 2, the follow-up to last year's NFS simulation attempt
