Here's what racing fans can look forward to in 2010.

Upcoming Racers of 2010

2010 may not be the best year for racing fanatics but it’s got a few tricks up its sleeve with games guaranteed to please both arcade racing fans and fans of the authentic simulation experience.

ModNation Racers (PS3 PSP)


If LittleBigPlanet picked Mario Kart up at a bar ModNation Racers would probably come along nine months later. The comparison to Mario Kart comes from gameplay similarities (that also includes child friendly vehicular combat btw) while the LBP part comes from the same “Play, Create, Share” ideology that allows you to create and share cars, racers and tracks online.

Need for Speed Untitled Project (PS3 Xbox360 PC)


So EA have passed over the reins of the Need for Speed franchise to Criterion, the very same lads behind the Burnout games. Sadly we have absolutely zero information on this game (we don't even know its official name) but looking at Criterion’s track record (look ma a pun), it seems the franchise is in good hands. I mean anything would be better after Undercover right?

Blur (PS3 Xbox360 PC)


Taking a tiny sabbatical from the Project Gotham Racing franchise, developer Bizarre Creations have taken on full-fledged vehicular combat with their latest venture that puts players in exaggerated renditions of real world cities like LA and London as they annihilate competition using a plethora of violent and entertaining power ups.

Split Second
(PS3 Xbox360 PC)


I wouldn’t hold it against you if you got confused this game with Blur since both games have somewhat of a similar premise. What sets Split Second apart from the pack is the fact that throughout a level you will be able to trigger certain environmental hazards the results of which will be highly catastrophic, entertaining and beneficial all at the same time. Now that’s how we like our racers.

Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)


The definitive racing simulation will finally make its appearance this year with old and new gameplay elements like both internal and external damage, night racing, 16 player online play and dynamic weather effects. All this will be accompanied by gorgeous photo realistic visuals running at a solid 60 frames per second.

It's quite short and it doesn't have any sort of versus multiplayer but The Darkness II is a polished and brutal shooter you should definitely check out, especially if you like ripping dudes to shreds.
