John Bedford (Modojo): Modojo rounds up the best of the price-drops for Friday 29th June.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "New York Comic Con was packed this year, to say the least. From October 17-20, more than 200,000 attendees made their way through the Javits Center in midtown Manhattan to partake in the annual celebration of comics, television, cosplay, and all things pop cultural.
A few blocks away, in a quieter, calmer corner of the city, I was lucky enough to sit down with legendary developer Jordan Mechner, celebrated for his pioneering work in video game animation and cinematic storytelling. Mechner, a New York native, is most famous for creating the long-running Prince of Persia franchise, which added two new installments just this year. Outside of the world of video games, he is an accomplished graphic novel author, having worked on Templar, Monte Cristo, and Liberty. His latest graphic novel, Replay: Memoir of an Uprooted Family, is his most personal yet. It weaves together multiple timelines that cover three generational stories: that of his grandfather, who fought in World War I; that of his father, who fled Nazi persecution; and his own personal and professional journey over the last four decades."
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
Best NFS in my personal opinion
Highstakes, Hotpursuit 2 and Underground, Mostwanted, The Run.
Rest of those titles are Junk,Crap, disappointing.
Paul writes - "EA know a good thing when they see it, and for multiple years November was Need for Speed month. In a break from the usual routine, I'm going to be looking back at two games here, released in 2005 and 2010 respectively. The earlier game is Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which has the distinction of being one of the very best in the franchise. The second game comes from 2010, and is Need for Speed Hot Pursuit; which I'll talk about just as the Remastered version of the game has hit the stores."
I completely adore this game! In fact its probably my favorite racing game. I recently dusted off my xbox 360 to play Most Wanted 2005. Still a great game, though I do not remember there being such horrible performance. Like massive frame-pacing issues. screen tearing, latency. If any game ever truly needed to be remastered, it this one for sure!
