Need For Speed Unbound’s wild visual effects are actually the best part
[ad_1] You’d be forgiven for just now learning that there’s a new Need For Speed coming out.

This cool Metal Gear Solid throwback trades rocket launchers for sponge bullets
[ad_1] I knew Undetected (opens in new tab), a new indie stealth game from Mexican developer Antonio Freyre, and I were on the same page when a pencil-pushing, no-nonsense general immediately started on with a mission briefing over scenes of the hero, Tenoch Kaan, sneaking through the jungle to his deployment point.
