When there's a sale on where the lowest price cut is 50% you know you've got a sweet deal and this is exactly the case with the Need For Speed series on Steam right now.
The four Need For Speed titles that are currently on special offer are NFS: Shift, Undercover, Hot Pursuit and Shift 2 Unleashed. It's the perfect way to tide yourself over until the new NFS: The Run is released on November 15th (18th in the UK/Europe).
Of the four on offer, Hot Pursuit is our pick of the bunch. This is the one that Burnout creators, Criterion Games, tuned up and rolled out and taps into the winning formula that made Need For Speed the classic racer of old - high-speed straight line racing, across amazing backdrops.
The orchestral score that makes everything feel 10x more dramatic, the chance to play as the cops and call in chopper support and the brilliant Autolog system that allows you to set challenges for friends while you play all add up to make one cracking racer.
