Why Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010 OG PC Version) Needs to Be on GOG Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) is a modern classic that revitalized the legendary Hot Pursuit formula with stunning graphics, high-speed thrills, and a revolutionary multiplayer system. Developed by Criterion Games (famous for the Burnout series), the 2010 version injected fresh energy into the Need for Speed franchise, and its availability on GOG would ensure this masterpiece is preserved and playable for generations to come. At its core, Hot Pursuit 2010 brought back the intense cat-and-mouse gameplay between racers and cops, elevating it with breathtaking scenery, licensed exotic cars, and a seamless blend of arcade and simulation physics. Whether tearing up Seacrest County’s winding mountain roads or launching spike strips in a high-stakes police chase, every moment was packed with adrenaline. What truly set it apart, though, was the Autolog system—a feature ahead of its time. It dynamically connected players, encouraging competition through time trials, challenges, and leaderboards. It was more than multiplayer; it was a social racing revolution that laid the groundwork for how online racing communities operate today. Releasing this on GOG would be a win for preservation. The original PC version deserves a DRM-free comeback with controller support, modern OS compatibility, and optional enhancements. The 2020 Remastered version is solid, but many fans still prefer the original’s tone, visuals, and handling. Bringing Hot Pursuit 2010 to GOG isn’t just a nostalgia move—it’s about giving one of the best racing games of the 2010s the permanent spotlight it deserves.

Jet Moto
Jet MotoGameplay in the Jet Moto series differs from traditional racing games, as players instead control hoverbikes which hover close above the ground and can be driven over both land and water. Most of the courses in the games are designed to take advantage of this ability. The game has a variant of the traditional road course but also introduces a new course type, known as a suicide course. Instead of being a continuous loop, these tracks have checkpoints at either end of the course, and the starting grid in the centre. Characters race to one end, then turn around to head for the other checkpoint, repeating the process until all laps are complete. This provides a new gameplay dynamic as often the player must navigate oncoming traffic. Characters are split into teams, and bikes are adorned with logos of products such as Mountain Dew and Butterfinger, similar to real-life sponsored racing.

Jet Set Radio HD
Jet Set Radio HDJet Set Radio HD is the latest remaster in a string of Dreamcast "hits" to see new life on download platforms, but Sega has been insistent that they've learned its lessons. The publisher has emphasized how hard it's trying to get things right this time, and for many, it couldn't have chosen a better game. Jet Set Radio was part of Sega's onslaught of new properties with an emphasis on flash and style during the second wave of Dreamcast software, but it might be one of the more obscure. It's a game that almost everyone has heard of, but I think few have actually played. This was remedied somewhat with 2002's Xbox sequel Jet Set Radio Future. Unlike Sonic Adventure or the arcade hit Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio HD is the chance for many to finally play a game they've only heard about. Nostalgia has the side effect of high expectations though, and Jet Set Radio HD just can't meet them. While the flash and style of Jet Set Radio HD remains untouched and unvarnished by a dozen years of progress, the rest of it can't stand up to scrutiny. Squirrely controls, camera catastrophes, and nonsensical level design make Jet Set Radio HD a better memory than game.

Jet Set Radio Future
Jet Set Radio FutureJet Set Radio Future is a video game developed by Smilebit and is the sequel to Jet Set Radio. Similar to the original, it depicts a future Tokyo where freedom of expression is outlawed. The user plays a character in the GG's, a gang of in-line skating graffiti artists who skate around Tokyo covering up rival gangs' graffiti, knocking over Rokkaku police, and dancing to the electric soundtrack. The game uses a cel-shaded style of animation, and has been widely acclaimed for its unique music style, detailed art, and gameplay. Though the game is set in the future, its style and content incorporates many aspects of 1980's old school hip hop culture, as well as 1990's J-pop culture.
