Why We Need More Games Like Driver

Game of the Year awards nominations are being discussed throughout the games writing community right now, and the same handful of titles keep popping up over and over. It’s probably fair to assume that Skyrim is going to take home a whole heap of them, alongside the likes of Portal 2, Zelda, and Arkham City. These are all, in their own ways, fairly inventive games – games that push genre, narrative and general gameplay concepts in some interesting directions, and are all deserving of accolades.


Driver San Francisco Races Back To The Dark Ages Of Mobile Gaming

Before the Android and the iPhone mobile gaming seemed a hopeless endeavour, where every game released felt like a cereal box toy facsimile of a more complete console experience. Gameloft’s Android version of Driver San Francisco remembers those days all too well.


Driver San Francisco Is The Best Game No One Is Talking About

I should have been playing more Gears of War 3 Friday night. I had an early copy. But I tried Driver: San Francisco.


Jump Into The Minds Of Driver: San Fransciso’s Toughest Critics

After spending more than a decade slowly morphing into Grand Theft Auto, Ubisoft’s Driver franchise takes a metaphysical turn that seems right at home in San Francisco. It’s the ultimate outer body experience!


Check Out The Real Driver San Francisco Car In This Rap Video

Yelawolf, an Alabama rapper signed to Eminem’s Shady Records, loves muscle cars. So he must be pretty excited to drive around a real life model of Driver San Francisco‘s yellow and black Dodge Challenger.


San Francisco Welcomes Reckless Multiplayer Drivers

I just want to play Driver: San Francisco to try and figure out how taxi drivers take those hills without launching their vehicles into low Earth orbit. Other crave a little competition. This video is for them.


This Driver Video Does A Poor Job Of Explaining Why Multiplayer Is Awesome…

But you should still watch it anyway, if only to cringe each and every single time the voiceover pronounces ‘multiplayer’ as ‘mult-i-player’. I had a lot of fun with Driver: San Francisco’s online modes, and while this vid somehow manages to suck all the fun out of things it’s still worth watching just to get a visual idea of how it all works.


Ubisoft Claims Its DRM Is A ‘Success’

Ubisoft’s approach to DRM is controversial to say the very least, and its policy continues with Driver: San Francisco, which requires a constant internet connection to play. This has bothered many gamers but, speaking to PC Gamer, a Ubisoft rep has claimed that the DRM has been a success.


If You Want Driver: San Francisco On PC, You’d Better Have A Stellar Internet Connection

Like that comeback no one wants to see happen, Ubisoft’s always-on DRM is making an encore appearance for the PC version of Driver: San Francisco. Ergo, if you don’t have an internet connection, or if Ubisoft’s servers go down due to maintenance or hackers or Act of God(s), you can’t play the game. Not even in singleplayer (also known colloquially as “offline” mode).


Driver: San Francisco ‘Shifts’ Into Gear

A while back I rambled on about how much fun I had in Driver: San Francisco’s multiplayer component. I found it quite difficult to really explain just how the new ‘shift’ mechanic really transforms the gameplay, but thankfully Ubisoft has created a developer diary that does a decent job of it.
