Trailer: EA's Need for Speed franchise is racing across country in it's latest title, the imaginatively titled The Run.
Let's call this the week of being honest. We admitted to our deep distrust of watery depths earlier in the week, so why not now admit that on top of not swimming, we don't drive, either. Thus, we've never quite got the appeal of most racing or driving games, and why when we do play them... we're really not that good at them.
Need for Speed: The Run, however, may be an exception. We totally nailed the demo at E3 in June, and it was a mess of fun to drive, run, jump and crash around the place.
Then again, it was a tame PR guy (or gal, it was very loud and bright) who told us how well we did, and that could just have been their schtick. Perhaps they were telling every one that; maybe we could have had a coronary and he'd be yelling at us how boss our time-to-finish was over the sounds of paddles charging.
Moving right along, here's the The Run (sounds odd, huh?) limited edition trailer. That is, the trailer for the limited edition version of the game. We'll shut up now.
