Review: Driver: San Francisco (360)
On the second day of playing Driver: San Francisco, my wife and I decided to head out for a bit of lunch. Our chosen destination was Panda Express. After power-sliding around corners in the game, throwing up smoke from spinning tires for two days, I was in a bit of a driving frenzy. As we started heading to the restaurant, I found myself going something like 40mph over the speed limit, which promp...[Read More]

E3 2011: Driver: San Francisco
It’s hard to imagine that almost 12 years have passed since the first Driver was released. I can still vividly recall the levels, the missions, and most importantly, the driving on one of my favorite driving games of all time. I can still picture the underground parking garage where the tutorial section took place. I played so much Driver on my PC, back in the day, that I actually wore out t...[Read More]
