PSX Extreme: "Need for Speed: SHIFT wasn’t perfectly simulated but it still felt great; sitting there in the cockpit of a car, attempting to learn the subtleties of both the track and the vehicle, and watching a race unfold with rapt fascination. Really, that in-cockpit view is exactly what driving fans require and despite a few small hitches here and there, the game proved itself to both critics and racing aficionados. Now, with SHIFT 2: Unleashed in the works, we look to developer Slightly Mad Studios to take the next step. Remember, while certain NFS entries like the recent Hot Pursuit are for the arcade-loving gamers, the new SHIFT series is designed to cater to the simulated fans and hence, it competes with the likes of Gran Turismo and Forza."
Paul writes: "So, all in all, Shift 2: Unleashed from way back in 2011 on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC was a good game, but not quite as good as the marketing hype may have had you believe. Autolog and racing with friends was fun, the upgrading of the cars and the gradual unlocking of the new series made for an addictive play, and the game looked the part as well. But it failed to reach the heights many predicted."
"At B-TEN, we love video games. Even more then that, we love having the chance to talk about video games. Straight Right is a video game developer out of Australia known for Shift 2 Unleashed, Mass Effect 3 Special Edition and Dues Ex Human Revolution Director’s Cut. I got the chance to interview Straight Right CEO Tom Crago and get his insight into the games Straight Right has worked on."

Deus Ex was great, but ME3 was just done terribly. The should have done the collection of the series for wii u instead of the third game on its own.
Excellent work. This is a breath of fresh air especially compared to the usual doom and gloom on here. Keep it up.
