NFS Prostreet : Rule the Street

NFS Prostreet

This thing is going to really excite you all. I know that you all love the Need For Speed Series . The NFS Prostreet is going to be released in the Indian market on 1st November 2007. Last year’s NFS Carbon was a bit disappointing , the story was very short and there was no drag racing.

But NFS Prostreet is going to present a really different racing experience. It will give us that complete ability of designing and building a car . The game will feature some cool races - grip, drag , drift and the new speed challenge. The game will feature some cool cars as well as amazing graphics. It is also good to see the Drag race back in the game . With all these cool games releasing during that period , it may be time to burn a hole in your pocket and get your hardware updated. In the mean time , have a look at this cool video.

Which NFS version have you liked the most till date ? And which car ? Is there any particular improvement you would like to see in NFS Prostreet ? Share your vies with me.

  • Crysis Demo announced

    We are finally going to get out hands on Crysis . The game is scheduled to be released on 16th November but the demo is going to be out on 25th September . And on the same date Halo 3 is also going to be released for the XBOX 360 . So this might be a move by EA or Crytek to take the limelight away from its launch .

    A lot of cool demos are hitting the internet these days . We have had demos of BioShock , World in Conflict , Medal Of Honor : Airborne and soon we might see the football series making its mark . I am going to have a busy time reviewing them all.
