by The_acz

While not the most stellar line-up (especially after this month gave us Sunset Overdrive and Saints Row IV) Xbox’s Games With Gold for May still has some notable titles you might want to check out.

Xbox One owners start off the month with Defense Grid 2, which will be available all month. After that, they’ll be able to SUIT UP for adventure with Costume Quest 2 from May 16th to June 15th. Xbox 360 users get a completely different set of games as always. From May 1st through the 15th 360 & One users can take to the streets in Grid 2, followed by the original Peggle from the 16th to the 31st.

What are you looking forward to the most this month? Comment below and tell us.

Return to The Streets With GRiD 2

by Shane O'Hare

Today we got a tease. A tasty, tasty tease from CodeMasters. Today we get the announcement that they will be releasing a sequel to the crazy popular arcade racer, GRiD. Check out the brief, yet satisfying trailer below.

No other info has been released yet, but what I could find is that GRiD 2 will mark the release of the EGO 2.0 engine, which is a combination of the engine used in DiRT (Neon) and Operation Flashpoint (PhyreEngine). Which will allow CodeMasters to render high detailed damage models.

Now people speculate, one of them being myself, that this sudden teaser is a response to Turn 10’s Forza Horizon, which is a more arcade style racer than the heavy simulation of the other Forza games. Which game will rise to the top? Only time will tell. But any racing fan should be excited to see what comes out of this.
