Previews The Crew: Wild Run preview – drifting with a drift spec car

We've got lots of preview action coming shortly (not to be confused with the PC closed beta) for the upcoming Wild Run expansion for The Crew, our first video takes a closer look at the drift spec cars.

Previews WRC 5 early impressions video

We give our early PC gameplay impressions on WRC 5, the very latest official WRC rally title offering in the long-running series.

Previews Total WipEout: Formula Fusion first look

When you fire up Formula Fusion, the first thought that will probably pop into your head is “Wow, this looks a lot like WipEout!” Any similarities are no coincidence – that’s because the team at Middlesbrough-based start-up studio R8 Games are primarily made up of former Psygonosis Leeds Studio developers who worked on the underrated […]

Previews Forza Motorsport 6 preview – F1 car at Rio gameplay

We continue with our preview coverage of Microsoft's flagship racer Forza Motorsport 6 with a trip to the Rio circuit. To spice things up a little we thought we'd try out a Formula One in a rather horrible looking paint scheme quite frankly (what were you thinking!). Alan has ABS and stability control assists turned […]

Previews Forza Motorsport 6 preview stream

We take a look at the various elements of the full Forza Motorsport 6 title ahead of its release in just a matter of days. We decide to test out some streaming with the intention of possibly doing a lot more streams in the future and although we have some teething issues it was good […]

Previews WRC 5 hands-on gameplay – Night racing at Monte Carlo

Previews Project CARS exclusive Xbox One gameplay – final preview

Previews F1 2015 Preview

The much anticipated F1 2015 has finally been revealed for release on June 12th for PS4, Xbox One and PC, and despite it coming slightly later than expected, it’s good to see everything is progressing well in development.

Previews Project CARS Xbox One first look gameplay

Following hot on the heels of our PS4 Project Cars update yesterday, we finally have our first footage of the Xbox One version. Still at an early stage, this build is said to be several months old but already shows the visuals are coming together. Handling however still requires a fair bit of work but […]

Previews Project CARS PS4 video preview: exclusive 43 car race gameplay

Project CARS has seen several delays over the past few months; in some cases it feels like we’ve been hearing about it forever. But it is not the lengthy and protracted development it first appears. Yes, there has been an 8 month delay, but the open community nature of the title has put it out […]

Milestone's new bike racing IP Ride is just around the corner.

Now we're looking at […]

Previews Project CARS Exclusive Playstation 4 Gameplay Videos

Last week we revealed our first exclusive selection of Project Cars gameplay videos focusing primarily on the visual developments and progress in this area.

With WRC 4 now less than a month away from skidding onto consoles and PC, Alan jetted off to Milan to attend a preview event at Milestone for a more in-depth look at their latest rally sim. After getting more than a little distracted by the city stunning scenery, we get to learn more details […]

Previews Cruising with The Crew: Gamescom gameplay video blowout

Previews F1 2013 exclusive Classic Mode hands-on gameplay videos

Today saw Codemasters officially announce F1 2013, and while its existance isn't exactly an earth shattering surprise, the inclusion of the Classic Mode content certainly was. It's been long-requested, but licensing issues have continually prevented Codemasters from gaining access to vintage formula one content. They've since overcome these issues however, meaning that passionate fans will […]

Previews MotoGP ’13 Exclusive Video Launch Coverage

Milestone's highly anticipated MotoGP '13 races off the line this week in what promises to be the most authentic video game recreation of the sport in years.

Previews Forza Horizon Car Reveal Round-Up Pt 10

So, here we are ladies and gentlemen: with the title now officially on sale at your nearest game retailer, we've now reached the final entry in our 'Forza Horizon Car Reveal Round-Up' mini-series. Thankfully, it seems that Turn 10 and Playground Games decided to go out with a bang – not only are there a […]

Previews WRC3 Vita first look hands-on

Since its launch earlier this year, the PlayStation Vita has been largely devoid of decent driving games. Sure, there’s the obligatory Ridge Racer to provide that thin slice of nourishing, easy to digest arcade action, but aside from a shoddy 3DS port of F1 2011 there’s been little in the way of serious, deep pan […]

Previews Forza Horizon Car Reveal Round-Up Pt 9

These Round-Ups we're doing from might, from now on, be a bit irrelevant – after all, we've all had a brief skim through the in-game 'Auto Show' car list (if you haven't seen it yet and would like a few spoilers, you can check it out here). But we do like doing these weekly pieces […]

Previews Forza Horizon Car Reveal Round-Up Pt 8

We may have already started to experience the full game already – Alan's just recently uploaded the first hour or so of the career mode in two separate vids onto our YouTube channel – but that doesn't mean the train of newly announced Forza Horizon cars will be drawing to a hault anytime soon, as […]

Previews Forza Horizon Car Reveal Round-Up Pt 7

It's not long now until Forza Horizon finds its way onto the shelves at your nearest game retailer, but there's still a while to go until Turn 10's and Playground Games' car announcements have eventually covered the entire roster. With some of the most advanced supercars of all time, a collection of awe-inspiring muscle cars, […]

Previews GRID 2 Eurogamer Expo hands-on: back on track

There was a time when it was rare to find a track racing game without the Codemasters logo stamped on it.

Previews Forza Horizon Car Reveal Round-Up Pt. 6

This week's been quite a good one for Forza Horizon.

Previews Forza Horizon Car Reveal Round-Up Pt. 5

Given the amount of vehicles that've been announced over the last four weeks, we're surprised that Playground Games and Turn 10 have enough interesting metal to reveal between now and the game's release in late October. In fact, we're tempted to say that this is one of the best reveal weeks to date! We'll let […]

Previews WRC3 Video Preview Blowout

Since the release of its demo earlier this month, anticipation for Milestone's upcoming WRC3 has shifted up a gear. Fan reaction has been largely positive thanks to a wealth of improvements made since the last two efforts, which could well make WRC3 the most definitive rallying experience in recent years. As part of our extensive […]

Previews Forza Horizon Car Reveal Round-Up Pt. 4

It's been roughly a month since Playground Games and Turn 10 started revealing the cars that'll be featured in Forza Horizon, and over the last few weeks there have been many awesome speed machines for us to ogle at.

Another week draws to a close, and that can only mean one thing – it's time for another entry into our very own 'Forza Horizon Car Reveal Round-Up' series.

It's the end of the week, and we can now, as a result, kick-start our weekly round-up of all the new cars that the Turn 10 and Playground Games PR peeps have officially declared will be in the upcoming Forza title. Even though there was a far more rigorous selection process for Forza Horizon than […]

Previews Preview – SBK-X Hands-On

It's certainly been a period of ups and downs for biking fans with the anticipation for Moto GP being so high, it came as a big disappointment to many who were looking for something slightly more realistic. So, what better time than for Black Bean to pick up the baton. 2010 is proving to be […]

Previews Preview – V8 Superstars Next Challenge Hands-On

Barely 6 months after the prequel and we see V8 Superstars Next Challenge racing its way to a games shop near you. It's surprising just how soon this has come about, but it indicates the rush into getting V8 out before titles such as Forza 3 and Shift. Of course, this means some stuff had […]

Previews Preview – SuperCar Challenge Hands-On

2009 is fast becoming one of the greatest ever years for racing fans, but surely it's now an unenviable time for publishers and developers as development costs rise and rivals eat up potential market share? In particular on the PS3, we have the looming cloud of Gran Turismo 5 hovering over the horizon, and it's […]

Previews Preview – Forza Motorsport 3 Hands-On

Yesterday, I finally got a long awaited and much anticipated opportunity to have a decent and uninterrupted hands-on at Forza Motorsport 3. I have to admit, I've been pretty excited about this game, but at the same time not entirely convinced that the package had moved forward. Like all aspects of technology and gaming, the […]

Previews Preview – NFS Shift: First Hands-on

Editor's Note: The handling model was changed between the time we tested this pre-release version and the finished game. As a result, our comments on the way the cars drive isn't representative of the version you could buy in the shops. I have to admit, I didn’t really know what to expect of Need For […]
