January 29th, 2010 by RobNFSCNeed For Speed Shift – Trainer
January 28th, 2010 by RobNFSCSince cheats are not available for Need For Speed Shift, a trainer is available to use which has the same effect. A trainer runs in the background tricking the game by modifying parts of the memory, similar to how the Game Genie used to work in the Nintendo days.
To use this first download the file, start the trainer, then run the game, it gives you the following options:
Press F3 – Add 1911 points to Aggression (See Note)
Press F4 – Add 1911 points to Precision (See Note)
Press F5 – Add $100,000
Press F6 – Unlimited Nitro (On/Off)
Press F7 – Increase 10 Victories
Press F8 – Set losses to 0
Note: If you add enough points so that you reach level 50, all visual upgrades are unlocked.

Need For Speed Nitro Review
December 8th, 2009 by RobNFSCThe Need for Speed series is going through quite a bit of change this year, with the HD versions heading in the direction of Shift — a highly realistic, technical racer — and the Wii and DS versions going towards a more arcade-intense style with Nitro. For Nintendo fans, Need for Speed has been a regular addition to the Wii library year over year, though it comes with some ill feelings.

Free Downloadable Content for NFS: Shift
November 23rd, 2009 by RobNFSCEA has announced the first set of downloadable content for Need for Speed: Shift. It’s been called the Team Racing pack, the downloadable content “DLC” will launch, for free, on December 1 on the Xbox 360, and December 10 on the Playstation 3.
The pack adds an entirely new online racing mode to the game’s multiplayer component, allowing up to six friends to simultaneously race as a team against another up-to-six-player squad. “Individual driving strategy and playing it safe won’t work as team tactics and 200 mph split-second decisions are required to push your team to the podium,” or so says a company press release.
For the friendless, the pack also contains five cars:
* 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 427
* 1967 Shelby GT-500
* 1969 Dodge Charger R/T
* 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T
* 1998 Toyota Supra Mark IV
This is a great move for Electronic Arts as this free content will likely entice some players to put away their copies of Forza 3 long enough to jump back into Shift.

First review for NFS Shift from IGN. Verdict? It’s good!
September 10th, 2009 by HawkHas EA taken the original Need For Speed concept (I’m talking Road & Track with it’s simulation roots), put it on a track and made it a success? IGN think so, they’ve played the game and given it a 9.0/10

Further details on upcoming NFS games
July 17th, 2009 by RobNFSCFurther details have been announced regarding new upcoming Need For Speed titles. Need For Speed: Criterion Games 2010 is currently being developed by Criterion Games (developers of EA’s Burnout franchise). Need For Speed: Black Box 2011 is the “secret” game coming out being developed by Black Box (an Electronic Arts company). Judging by the titles, they will be released in 2010 and 2011 respectively, to me that seems a bit early to let the public know since three other games are already scheduled.
The box artwork has been revealed for NFS: Shift, NFS: World Online, and NFS: Nitro, see below.

Need For Speed SE running in Windows XP!
June 29th, 2009 by HawkHey guys, sorry I haven’t updated since we launched the blog. I have been trying to come up with a good site design so we can start putting up content of what we used to have up here, but time and life just keeps getting in the way!
Anyway, I’m bringing you a tip to play your old Need For Speed or Need For Speed SE games in Windows XP.
I was trying to get some old games to work, and I came across DOSBox. This will allow you to run your old games in an emulated DOS mode. There’s a wiki that shows you how and what games people are reporting work. All I gotta say, it was amazing to be playing NFSSE again!
Also, I have updated most of Giant Bomb’s NEED FOR SPEED entries.
