With the online multiplayer side of things hogging most of the attention shot in the direction of EA‘s Criterion Games developed Need for Speed: Most Wanted, I think its about time we heard something about the solo experience don’t you think?
EA obviously agree as today they’ve released a brand new, single-player focused trailer for their forthcoming blockbuster racer. Take a look at it after the break.
The Microsoft Store wants your business when it comes to this fall’s hot gaming releases and they are going out of their way to prove it! With the purchase of select titles like Resident Evil 6, Dance Central 3, or Borderlands 2, among others, you not only get a $10 gift card for a future Microsoft Store purchase, but you ALSO get a free 1600 Microsoft Points card. That’s pretty much $30 of free money, albeit money you can only use in certain ways, it’s still free! Check after the break for a full list of eligible games, or get the full details and start buying over at the Microsoft Store today!

I’m a big fan of Criterion’s Burnout series and also enjoyed their 2010 reboot of Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, so Need for Speed Most Wanted was already on my “most anticipated” list. But the new gameplay video takes my excitement to another level.
EA are going predictably sequel heavy at this year’s Eurogamer Expo as the mega publisher has today confirmed that no less than six games from its forthcoming release slate will be available on the showfloor for all and sundry to play.
The current list of playable EA titles at next month’s show include Dead Space 3, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, Crysis 3, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, SimCity and FIFA 13.
Criterion Games, developers of some of the finest racing experiences in the history of forever, have released an ‘insider’ video on their forthcoming EA racer, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit.
Although many will make the argument that E3 2012 was a bit of a dud when you consider what previous years brought to gamers and what next year is slated to bring (namely, the hopeful reveal of the next PlayStation and Microsoft consoles), there will still a lot of fantastic games on display that I had a lot of fun playing.
Personally, anyone who thought this was going into this year’s conference that it would be the biggest on record clearly hasn’t been paying close attention to the industry lately and the fact that we’re only on the alleged brink of a new generation.
This list may not match up with yours, but these are the games that left a lasting impression on me and are ones I will gladly stand in line on launch night to pick up.
