Is This Video of a Cancelled Crash Bandicoot Racer?
Sure looks like it. After renewed interest in Donkey Kong Racing, it’s interesting to look at a Crash Bandicoot racer that could have been. According to Crashmania this reboot of the Crash Team Racing series for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii was cancelled in 2010. The game was to be a sister project to a new Crash platformer called Crash Landed, also cancelled in 2010, and share its visual style. […]

One could do some sick tricks if they didn’t have real bones to break, as shown in this recent trailer for Trials Fusion, the latest Trials game from RedLynx and Ubisoft. The game is coming April 16 to PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. This will be the first game in the Trials series to make it to a PlayStation console, so Sony gamers are in for a treat. Trials […]
Donkey Kong Racing: The Nintendo Racer That Never Was
Here’s a cool retrospective from nintendolife.com of Donkey Kong Racing. This GameCube big brother to the N64 Rare hit Diddy Kong Racing had a lot of unique concepts going for it such as riding and switching animals mid-race, but never made it past the tech demo stage thanks to the unfortunate timing of being in development when Rare switched sides from Nintendo to Microsoft. Former Rare staffer and Donkey Kong […]
Carmageddon: Reincarnation Hits Steam Early Access March 27, Then Backs Up and Hits it Again
The original Carmageddon was one of the goriest, splashiest guilty pleasures of the 90s. The Death Race 2000-influenced game let a player act out their aggression by running down cows, pedestrians, hey, whole football teams? Why not? Well, lots of people saw a reason why not, and when it was released in 1997 Carmageddon was an early violent video game controversy, earning a ban in some countries and being censored in others. […]
‘Business’ and Pleasure in Latest Grand Theft Auto Online Update
Greed is, for lack of a better word, good in the latest update for Grand Theft Auto V’s Grand Theft Auto Online, the “Business” update coming March 4. But greed was always good in the world of Grand Theft Auto, so what else is new? Oh yeah, swag. The Business update features new weapons, clothes, hairstyles, even tattoos for fans of conspicuous consumption. But the main draw for motorheads, of […]
Project Gotham Racing Franchise Not in Development For Xbox One
Sorry, no Kudos for you. If you were holding out hope that a new Xbox might come with a chance to earn some by pulling some sick moves in a new Project Gotham Racing title, Phil Spencer, corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios and one of the guys in charge of greenlighting Xbox games, has some bad news. From his Twitter feed: “We aren’t currently working on PGR. I […]

The company posted a […]
NASCAR Manager Out Now for Mobile
Behind every successful racing team, there’s a stressed out manager juggling statistics, spreadsheets and schedules. Now, you can be that guy, with ETX Racing’s new mobile game, NASCAR Manager. OK, it’s probably not that ulcer inducing. This is a video game, after all. ETX promises their new game will provide the thrill of victory through strategy. “Winning the Sprint Cup is about so much more than the fastest driver. Strategic […]
Project Cars adds Radical Sportscars to its Lineup
Project CARS, the upcoming community-funded racing game from Slightly Mad Studios, already has enough flash to throw around, so adding these gorgeous prototype racers from Radical Sportscars hardly seems fair. Slightly Mad’s newly announced collaboration with the British car company will bring three of Radical’s cars to the lineup: • The Radical SR3, which is “built on a spaceframe chassis and “powered by a 260hp Powertec 1500cc 4-cylinder engine.” • The SR8 […]

Free. Road America, a storied track that’s been running since 1955 in Elkhart, Wisconsin, has been in previous Forza games, but this version has a next-gen sheen thanks to the Xbox One.

F1 2013 Coming to Mac March 6
Feral Interactive announced today that its Mac version of F1 2013, out last year for Windows, Xbox 360, and PS3, will be available March 6 for Mac players. So, yeah, because this version was delayed in December, Mac players are getting the 2013 game in 2014, but better late than never for this generally well-received game. Originally developed and published by Codemasters, the game features the cars, tracks and racers […]
Gran Turismo Champ Jann Mardenborough will Drive for Arden in GP3
If Gran Turismo ever needs to defend the use of its “The Real Driving Simulator” tagline, exhibit A will be Jann Mardenborough. Mardenborough, who learned racing from gaming and broke into the racing world by beating 90,000 other competitors in Nissan and Playstation’s GT Academy in 2011, has entered Red Bull’s driver development program and will race in the GP3 series for Arden. Mardenborough has been competing in British […]
Mario Kart 8 is Out May 30, and it’s Bringing the Koopalings
They may be mostly named after 80s celebrities and musicians that its primary audience has never heard of, and they may have been retconned to where they’re no longer actually Bowser’s kids, but the Koopalings are joining the lineup for Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U. All seven made the cut, even Morton Koopa Jr. The characters were announced during yesterday’s Nintendo direct video press release, which also gave […]
Need for Speed Movie Revs Up Its Publicity Engine
Video game to movie adaptations usually don’t go that well. I think I’m still psychologically scarred from seeing Hollywood’s version of Super Mario Bros. as a child. But movies with bitching car chase and racing scenes usually kick ass. So I’m torn about Need For Speed. This new video from the movie’s official YouTube page at least shows star Aaron Paul and the rest of the cast have the right […]

Slightly Mad Studios, developers of the Need for Speed: Shift series and the upcoming Project CARS, announced this week that it will be releasing an ambitious free-to-play MMO, World of Speed. The PC game will feature a wide range of tracks, cars, and, yes, paid upgrades and microtransactions. If you’re groaning right now, Slightly Mad’s Creative Director Andy Tudor understands.
