Being A Vampire In This Game Seems Like A Lot Of Fun

Why The New Tomb Raider Works

There’s a few different classes of Xeno on display in the trailer, including a big, hulking varietal that wasn’t ever in the Aliens movies. Good luck trying to find anyone who’ll play as Marines.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted Lets You Steal The World’s Fastest Cars. Kind Of.

Maybe you’ve had that moment on the highway where you pull up next to a fancy sportscar. You might think that the person driving it is probably some rich jerk, but still wonder how that Porsche or Lambo handles. Need For Speed: Most Wanted lets you take explore that fantasy in a different way. All the cars in the game will be available from the start. But like a harried commuter unexpectedly coming up on a sleek Aston Martin on the freeway, you’ll have to find these cars first.
