It's official: Several Need for Speed games are about to be "retired", as EA prepares to hand over pink slips from its corporate shotgun when it gathers a chunk of the racing franchise together and delivers the news at the back of the shed.

Because no one likes waiting in queues for minutes on end to eventually have their lobby dropped, right?

The shrunken survival game is dialling back on the release schedule to provide players with chunkier additions to the game.

Almost three dozen games, a trip into a bygone era, and plenty of reasons to have a pocket full of coins jangling away as you peruse the offerings. Depending on your fondness for the past, Capcom Arcade Stadium has a divisive collection of charming cult classic titles and time-wasting distractions, but it's all presented in a package that lures you in with bright lights, loud sounds, and plenty of nostalgia.

Come June, it's as if a switch (not that one) is flicked and every game under the sun decides to come out of hibernation. This year's incarnation of Julian and Gregory's sixth month is no different, featuring a healthy mix of indie, middle-budget, and AAA games hitting the scene.

Developer Experiment 101 has been monitoring fan feedback, and based on the community reception to the game, have begun putting together a patch to make some big changes.

The absolute cheek of it all.

It all looks delightfully mad, and hell yeah I'm feeling it. Far Cry has always had an element of weirdness to its design, but the sixth chapter in the mainline series looks set to dial up the crazy to dangerously mad levels.
