The latest entry to the high octane series of Need For Speed arcade racers was unleashed around the world just last month and players have hailed the game’s use of Autolog to once again allow us to compare and beat our friends’ race times, while the intense action and hugely impressive visuals have also drawn high praise.
We’re of course talking about Need For Speed: The Run, an out-of-control racer that we here at El33tonline are particularly fond of, and now thanks to the release of the latest title update, we can become even more fond of EA’s awesome game.
Need For Speed: The Run recently sped out into the world across Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC and El33tonline thinks very highly of it indeed - read Lisa’s heart-stopping review of this out of control racer to find out why we think it’s the best Need For Speed yet!
Coincidentally, El33tonline and EA South Africa recently got together to give away copies of Need For Speed: The Run across all platforms, and all you had to do to stand a chance of winning was tell us what you thought of the game’s added gameplay mechanic of ‘out-of-the-car’ action - and tell us you did!
Who amongst you managed to win a copy of Need For Speed: The Run?
“Three miles to go, four opponents to beat, hairpin bends to conquer and the cops are driving hard and fast…‘pull over’ he yells – not a chance.”
This is just a taste of what you’ll experience as you get behind the wheel in Need for Speed: The Run, the new arcade racer from EA and Black Box that delivers the same adrenaline pumping out-of-control racing experience that we enjoyed in last year’s excellent Hot Pursuit.

Say say say! Have you entered El33tonline’s latest set of competitions?! Time is running out and a few of them will be wrapping up today!
You’ve still got a chance to win Uncharted 3 Limited Edition, GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, Need For Speed: The Run and an amazing Assassin’s Creed: Revelations hamper!
More opportunities to win awesome gaming gear are on the way this week on El33tonline, too, but for now get yourself over to our competition page and get your entries in!
A little while ago we received our invite for the Need for Speed: The Run launch. Apart from the date, time and venue, EA was keeping the details close to their heart, but we knew it was at Kyalami which made us excited about what they had in store for us.
A week later we received an indemnity form which disclosed we would be participating in drifting, and my excitement built even further because it’s got to be cool if it’s so dangerous that we have to sign an indemnity, right?
[Update] Added a few tasters from the event below. [End of Update]
Want to catch glimpses and details of the currently-on-the-go launch event for Need For Speed: The Run, hosted by EA South Africa at Kyalami today?
Then follow El33tonline’s Twitter account over here for photos and details as Lisa lets us know what’s happening at the event, straight from the track!
Need For Speed: The Run is now available in North America across Xbox 360, PS3 and PC and is due for release around the rest of the world later this week too, so we thought it would be a good idea to get warmed up ahead of the big race by watching a pulse-pounding launch trailer for EA and Black Box’s latest arcade racer.
Where can we find such a video? Just a little ways below:
Is this the last big week of the year?
The massive, insanely hectic period of massive videogame releases starts wrapping up this week with another deluge of exciting titles, with opportunities to roam through Constantinople open-world style, race across the US in a deadly contest, revisit a classic adventure, jump and bop through a magical 3D land and paint the town red with a bunch of ‘saints.’
Discover the games you can expect to show up on store shelves around the world this week with El33tonline’s round-up below:
We’ve closed down a host of competitions today, and we discovered winners for WRC 2, a collection of 3DS games, Need For Speed: The Run shirts and a fantastic Afrihost desk fridge.
We also named our El33t P33p of the Month for October.
Is that all we’ve got? Are those all of the opportunities El33tonline is giving you to win fantastic gaming prizes?
Of course not, don’t be silly.
We’ve still got chances to win Uncharted 3 Limited Edition, Need For Speed: The Run, codes for Max & the Magic Marker, the first of five R100 Kalahari.com vouchers and… an awesome Assassin’s Creed: Revelations hamper (which has to be seen to be believed!).

A little while ago, we marked the release of the Need For Speed: The Run demo over Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network with a little competition.
With special Need For Speed: The Run t-shirts up for grabs, provided by EA South Africa, we challenged South African gamers to set the best time on a specific course in the demo - whoever set the best times would win a shirt!
If you fancied yourself as a speed demon and took part in this awesome little contest, then you probably won one of those shirts - find out below:

The world’s best ‘Director of Explosions and Robots,’ Michael Bay, recently teamed up with EA and the development team behind Need For Speed: The Run to create a uniquely cinematic trailer for the game, with enough action, explosions and high octane racing to make even Hollywood jealous of how far games have come.
It’s quite something and you can definitely see some of Bay’s touches during the trailer, in particular some of the camera angles, fades and long, panning views.
In short, it’s spectacular, and once you’re done watching it below, you can also watch the making of the trailer with Michael Bay, Christina Hendricks and developers:
Need something to get your pulse racing and keep you going until the end of the day?
