As Need For Speed turns 30, the devs currently running the series say the biggest challenge new entries face is “literally the age of the franchise” “The trajectory has been bumpy, actually, in some cases.” Image credit:EA/VG247 “I remember going to what was probably the local video game shop or computer shop, and me and my friends saw it on the 3DO, and we were like ‘what’s this?’, we all jumped on it, and you felt badass,” current Need For Speed producer Patrick Honnoraty says....

Atlas Fallen has great combat and that joyous single-A energy If you like your games slightly wonky – but effortlessly charming – Atlas Fallen is likely for you. Atlas Fallen is exactly the sort of game I need right now. I don’t quite know how to explain why that is other than to get slightly reductive, so indulge me: it’s got big, glorious A-tier energy. Not triple-A. Just A . And sometimes, that’s all you need....

Avowed lead says there’s “choice and consequence” for how you build your character Be careful over what kind of character you choose to be. Image credit:Obsidian If you’re already plotting at the perfect build for Avowed , you better scrap those plans, as Obsidian says there isn’t “one perfect build.” Personally, when I play an RPG, I’m pretty happy with just winging it, not paying much mind to crafting a particularly powerful build - I like just going with the flow....
