"It wasn’t that long ago since I didn’t really see the NFS franchise as anything special, or anything diverse. Gran Turismo and Forza were besting the games for the most realistic and content-heavy racing series, and it felt as if a games like the Shift era were trying to play catch up. That was, until E3 2010, where I was both saddened and surprised by the news that Criterion Games were now working on the NFS franchise. I’d wanted a new Burnout game since Paradise and with this news, it didn’t seem like I was going to get what I wanted anytime soon. Alas, a year ago from now, I was pleasantly surprised at their unique entry into the franchise that gave Need for Speed the revitalized boost it needed. Of course, after the success of Hot Pursuit, it was inevitable that EA and Black Box were going to continue to try and make that kind of racer with or without the aid of Criterion. Unfortunately, with The Run, they fell short."

Most wanted 2012 imo was awful, on PS3 the graphics are dreadful, and the crash cam was very annoying. Rival is the worst imo, hated that game. My favourite is Hot Pursuit, great game. Also Shift 1&2 are really good.
High Stakes will always be my favorite. Great cars, great music, and you could see through the windows which was pretty mind-blowing at the time. Best of all it was ricer-free.
Lame. The list doesn't even include any of the originals. NFS 1 and NFS hot Pursuit 1998. Must be a youngster who created the list.
He clearly stated that being this was an Xbox centered site he was going to limit his list to games that released on some form of Xbox. He also stated he had been playing them since OG PLaystation, so pretty sure he's not a "youngster"
From my personal experience NFS I personally don't like.......
The Worst : Underground 2 , Carbon, Prostreets, Undercover, Porche unleashed, Nitro, NFS World, 2012 Mostwanted, Rivals, 2015 Reboot last but not least Paycrap.
Best NFS I personally like :
All ps1 NFS : HighStakes (the best) including NFS 3 Hotpursuit , ps2 Hotpursuit 2 (Excellent game ) ..Underground ( Best so far)
2005 Mostwanted ( Excellent game) Shift 1/2 (Spectacular) remind me of GT , 2010 Hotpursuit Great game but race Waaaaaaay to long in my personal opinion . Last but not least The Run . these are my favorite NFS titles .
After The Run in my personal opinion NFS went down hill fast with Open world mapping crap, always online, multiplayer crap, alldrive, drifting in every freaking corners, no gripping anymore,autolog. None of this crapfest is NFS original formula. until Ea contract Ghost Games to return the original formula back in NFS it will always be Shitty game.
10 Hollywood Actors You (Probably) Didn’t Know Voiced Video Game Characters.
Plenty of them that does VO for video games and animated films like batman movies.
Huh, didn't know Steve Carrell did video games. That feels just so weird. Already knew Magneto was in Fable 3, but it took me a while to place him.
Just finished it in 2 hours 20 minutes. I feel like I was cheated. The graphics looks good, but Blackbox must have spend years on an old engine, but were forced to redo the damn thing on Frostbite and never had the chance to test it. Case in point,(spoiler alert)why do we spend just less than 5 minutes to beat the last 3 bosses. Why is 80% of the cars locked and we have to complete the damn multiplayer stages to unlock old cars. Why cant we re-select a car after we made a mistake on the 3 options. Imagine driving a muscle car which has no speed/handling and you can see that you suck and hoping for a garage, sorry, garages are randoma and are not in every track.
THIS GAME BELONG IN THE NEVER TO BE PLAYED GAMES DUMP. Now let me go back to Skyrim and relieve this RAGE!!!!!!
