Criterion released a new game play trailer this week showcasing some new single player features in Need For Speed Most Wanted. One feature that really stood out was the ability to modify your car’s performance parts on the fly. Some of the modifications that can be made to your car include a reinforced chaise to help you take down your rivals and a nitrous boost to leave other racers in the dust. If the cops are on your tail you can foil their tactics by equipping re-inflating tires to be able to run over spike strips or equip impact protection to your car to blast through their roadblocks. Unlike many other racing games all cars will be unlocked from the start of the game. Read More...

Console exclusives isolate the gaming community by splitting it in half. Read More...
