If we were good at coming up with game ideas, well, we would be working in the industry making them. Anyway, below are ... Read More

Posted on January 9, 2013 at 03:13 PM.

(3)

Just the other day we all introduced ourselves and let you know what we will specifically be writing about. Today we were tasked with giving three things that we are looking forward to covering in 2013. Since I am the guy who writes about racing games, it is tougher for me to think of three unique things. With that said, I did manage to think of three things that will be discussed to some extent throughout the year and I even threw in a bonus topic as well.

Our review of Need for Speed: Most Wanted for home consoles is already live, but what about the PlayStation Vita version? It was handled internally by Criterion Games, and they promised a console-quality game. We get that ... to an extent. That same core multiplayer experience is there, albeit with four players in this version. However, there are a few technical issues that hold back Most Wanted from being a great handheld racing game.
