Top-down racers are a thing of beauty and today’s App of the Day on Pocket-lint is another great in a long line of classics. So, if you’re a fan of Supersprint, Badlands, Micro Machines, Reckless Racing and the like, then it’s time...

The best iPhone apps are often the games. It's probably the largest category in the App Store and they're the one's that seem to come and go on our handsets more frequently than any others as in turn each is downloaded, mastered and discarded. The...

"I hate Top Gear, and I hate anyone that likes it." Comedian Stewart Lee may not be elbowing his way past the petrol-heads to pick up the latest iteration of Forza, but the all-new Top Gear endorsement may well pique the interest of frightened middle-aged...

Forza Motorsport 4 launches on 14 October and we were lucky enough to get in some game time prior to launch, as well as sit down for a chat with Dan Greenawalt, Creative Director at Turn 10 Studios.

Let’s get something clear from the...

In the two previous iterations of DiRT, there has always been a tension between the past values of the series and the direction Codemasters wanted to take it for the future. The first two DiRT games bore the name and legacy of the Colin McRae Rally...

With 2009’s Need for Speed: Shift, Electronic Arts did the unthinkable; not just producing the first decent Need for Speed game in donkey’s years, but a sim-style racer that was a credible rival to Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo. Sure,...

Let's get the bad news over with. Given that it's been a good 5 years since the release of Test Drive Unlimited, it's hugely disappointing that the sequel arrives feeling so unpolished in key areas, so dated in others, and with the major issue that...

You'll need three things to get the most out of Gran Turismo 5: patience, a steering wheel, and a deep, almost senseless love of cars and all things Gran Turismo. Of the three, only the steering wheel is optional.

Of course, patience won't...

After much anticipation, and delays, Gran Turismo 5 is now available in shops, bringing with it a vast array of cars and a racing simulation experience previously unheard of on any console - in no small part ot its 3D gameplay.

All that long-term fans of arcade racers need to know is that Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit looks and plays like the next-generation love child of Need for Speed 3 (also subtitled Hot Pursuit) and Burnout Revenge. In other words, it's phenomenal, and...

Some custom hack-jobs are just so damn cool.

And often, the coolest mashups are the simplest ones. The guy who thought up this genius little idea must have only had two thoughts.

Firstly, racing radio controlled cars is fun, and secondly,...

We don't think many would contest that, after the brilliant Need for Speed: Most Wanted, the classic racing series lost its way. Need for Speed: Carbon? Mediocre. ProStreet? A bad experiment. Undercover? Don't even ask. Sure, last year's Shift was...

Forza 3 was an undoubted hit of 2009, one that we enjoyed playing so much, that it never got reviewed, so we thought we'd correct that. It comes in to supplant Forza 2, which launched in 2007, blending a huge variety of tracks and cars and a game we...

Last October, we posted a story with a quote from Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida who said that the company had a development team working on Gran Turismo on the PSP, but that it wasn't ready yet.

Microsoft has announced a second bundle pack for its Xbox 360 console that'll come with a 250GB hard drive. It's based around the Forze Motorsport 3 title, and as a result it's called the "Forza Motorsport 3 Super Elite Bundle".
