Last's year's Need for Speed reboot is on its way to PC. Here's the sort of hardware you'll need to get your motor running.

EA is spoiling PC gamers this month with arguably one of the best Need for Speed titles out there, which you can grab for the low price of nothing.

Speed may be the domain of all but the richest of playboys, but the digital domain of fast cars and flashy rides is open to anyone with a console. Driving games are racing towards a plateau, where graphics are that much closer to breaching the uncanny valley

So it’s delightfully refreshing to see none of that in Need For Speed. And that’s an idea that developer Ghost Games intends to maintain.

Need for Speed is back! After a year’s hiatus, EA’s annual racer is back, doing all it can to bring the series back to the flashy, street racing roots of one of its most successful and beloved series; Underground. Does it succeed?
