Story:In an alternate present, vast swathes of America have become no-go areas as the devastating effects of global warming ravage the continent. Floods, storms, bush-fires, tornadoes and hurricanes have driven people from towns and cities into safe zones as extreme weather wreaks havoc, creating thousands of square miles of dangerous uninhabitable areas. People turn to renewable energy in the face of the destruction caused by global warming. But these danger zones become a playground for a new breed of racer. With a stockpile of fuel to be burned, adrenaline junkies head into the wilderness to compete against each other in spectacular races against themselves and the elements.Show more

I remember playing this old gem on my crappy old laptop while being a broke college student. It was a really good time even though it only ran on 30 fps or less. Being a game about post-apocalypse, I really like the vehicle designs, it was a mishmash of vehicles from all sorts of life. Did I mention the map? The map was the largest gaming ever had at that point and still ranks in top 10 even after all these years.
It was sad that the game got pulled from store around 2015, I wish it was back on store on a better form
played this game on xbox360 back in the day. recently downloaded it for pc since its abandoned ware and it aged like fine wine. so many fun hours of play to be had. massive open world, tons of side objectives to have fun with, races where decent also. wish it would come back.
The idea of having a seemingly infinite world to drive was always enticing to me. A post-apocalyptic world, with all kinds of vehicles, deserted roads, races, challenges and a few points of interest to explore, plus being able to simply drive anywhere without limits? That's FUEL.
I first learned about this game so long ago when I didn't own an X360 or PS3, only in 2016 I was finally able to build a basic gaming PC and bought a key, what a game! Unfortunately, it was released in the time of Games For Windows Live, which makes it extremely difficult to play today, even owning it legally, and I have lost my save file twice already because I needed to reinstall my OS and the save file is locked to GFWL's account/PC, backing up the save file doesn't work because it's somehow protected and changes every time.
Please bring it back GOG! The world would be a better place if you can do it.
Never had a chance to play this when it was still available, but damn it if this game doesn't bring a wave of nostalgia because of Achievement Hunter and their legendary let's plays of this game.
Need for Speed: Most WantedThe player arrives in Rockport City, driving a racing version of the BMW M3 GTR (E46). Following Mia Townsend (played by Josie Maran), the player proves his driving prowess as he is pursued by a veteran police officer named Sergeant Cross (played by Dean McKenzie), who vows to take down the player and end street racing in Rockport.
Races seem to be in the player's favor until a particular group of racers, led by the game's antagonist, Clarence "Razor" Callahan (played by Derek Hamilton), sabotages and win the player's car in a race.Trending Open world
Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.Trending Action

Speed FreakSpeed Freak is a monochrome vector arcade game created by Vectorbeam in 1979. It is a behind-the-wheel driving simulation where the driver speeds down the computer generated road past other cars, hitchikers, trees, cows and cacti. Occasionally a plane will fly overhead towards the screen. One must avoid crashing into these objects and complete the race in the alloted time. The player can crash as many times as he wants before the time runs out and players were treated to two different crash animations. The first was a simple cracked windshield effect, the second was a crash where the car explodes into car parts that fly through the air.Action
