Why Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010 OG PC Version) Needs to Be on GOG Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) is a modern classic that revitalized the legendary Hot Pursuit formula with stunning graphics, high-speed thrills, and a revolutionary multiplayer system. Developed by Criterion Games (famous for the Burnout series), the 2010 version injected fresh energy into the Need for Speed franchise, and its availability on GOG would ensure this masterpiece is preserved and playable for generations to come. At its core, Hot Pursuit 2010 brought back the intense cat-and-mouse gameplay between racers and cops, elevating it with breathtaking scenery, licensed exotic cars, and a seamless blend of arcade and simulation physics. Whether tearing up Seacrest County’s winding mountain roads or launching spike strips in a high-stakes police chase, every moment was packed with adrenaline. What truly set it apart, though, was the Autolog system—a feature ahead of its time. It dynamically connected players, encouraging competition through time trials, challenges, and leaderboards. It was more than multiplayer; it was a social racing revolution that laid the groundwork for how online racing communities operate today. Releasing this on GOG would be a win for preservation. The original PC version deserves a DRM-free comeback with controller support, modern OS compatibility, and optional enhancements. The 2020 Remastered version is solid, but many fans still prefer the original’s tone, visuals, and handling. Bringing Hot Pursuit 2010 to GOG isn’t just a nostalgia move—it’s about giving one of the best racing games of the 2010s the permanent spotlight it deserves.

Mario Kart Wii
Mario Kart WiiMario Kart Wii is a multiplayer-oriented racing game for the Wii, and the sixth main installment in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart Wii retains the traditional item-based weaponry familiar with the franchise, where players can select a Mario franchise driver and themed vehicles. As with most racing games, the overarching goal is to place first among other competitors, through the usage of such items and taking the fastest routes to secure the leads. Several new key elements introduced to Mario Kart Wii include increasing the number of racers to 12 racers from 8 racers from previous entries in the series, as well as introducing a new type of vehicle to the franchise: bikes. The game takes advantage of features unique to the Wii, most notably its motion control capabilities. A Wii Wheel is included in most Mario Kart Wii packages, though the game is still compatible with other controllers. Game modes are also present such as the traditional Grand Prix, Versus, Battle, and Time Trial modes.

Need for Speed: Underground 2
Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.
