Ubisoft announces that the Windows PC edition of Driver: San Francisco is now available in North America, offering a new installment in the driving/action series that began with Driver: The Wheelman back in the 20th century. Here's word:

Developed by Ubisoft Reflections under the direction of the creators of the original title, Driver San Francisco marks the return of the established video game series that has sold 14 million copies worldwide. Gamers will play as Detective John Tanner on a relentless manhunt for crime lord Charles Jericho through the hills of the City by the Bay. Thanks to a groundbreaking gameplay feature, players can now seamlessly SHIFT between well over a hundred licensed vehicles, keeping them constantly in the heart of the action.

Wow, Insane 2, I always hoped they would make it! As for Driver San Fransico, so far meh, I want to like it, but the car physics feel a little off, steering sensitivity is either too sensitive or too sluggish depending on if you're sliding or plain driving, it only has one camera view of the car. Why can't they just make it drive like the original "Driver", it had to be one of the most fun driving games when it came out. I haven't tried it with anything but the keyboard yet, so maybe a controller will remedy my earlier complaints. Here's hoping for a patch that makes it fun!

So guessing I'm one of the few who really wants to see a motorhead 2 - pity Dice seem to be busy churning out generic shooters. As for Driver San Fran - it's kinda fun, nothing special. But then you see the TV ad and realise the advert is an awful lot more fun than the game. Just to explain this a bit better, Driver is like Dead Island; great adverts, run of the mill game.

Hot Pursuit and Split/Second and Blur were all met with lukewarm reception, and Hot Pursuit shouldn't have been fucking wasting the Burnout devs' time like it did. I thought Split/Second was one of the most original and fun arcade racing games to come out in a while. Its a shame it didn't sell well.

I thought the same thing when I saw the Logo. Destruction Derby would be awesome with the PhysX stuff.
