The Need for Speed franchise is in trouble. The series hasn't seen a decent entry in the better part of decade, and Need for Speed: Payback is yet again a

For a game that prides itself on the thrill of the open road and larger-than-life set pieces, Need for Speed Payback still manages to be disappointingly lacklustre. From its generic narrative to its one-dimensional characters, the game's shallow attempt at telling a nitrous-powered revenge story is...

Born in the era of seminal arcade racers like Daytona USA and Ridge Racer , Need for Speed has successfully managed to stick around when all others have faded away. Like that friend in the background of every photo, the series seems to languish in its B-list status - never good enough to be top...
