If there was one thing that 2014 lacked, it was good racing games. Now there were quite a bit released through the year, some with their own following, but only three truly stood out for this reward.
AND THE NOMINEES ARE…
FORZA HORIZON 2 – PLAYGROUND GAMES/TURN 10/MICROSOFT GAME STUDIO
THE CREW – IVORY TOWERS/UBISOFT REFLECTIONS
MARIO KART 8 – NINTENDO
AND THE WINNER IS…
THE CREW – IVORY TOWERS/UBISOFT REFLECTIONS
The Crew took us by surprise, a massive open world game where you can drive across (a bit scaled down) America while driving out a story-line fit enough to be a Fast and the Furious spin-off, personally I like to call it “Driver Online” since most of the driving does feel like the classic series (Reflections who created Driver also had a hand in this game.) The thing is, we haven’t stopped playing it since its release, with so much to do and such a big map that makes driving around just a blast.
