This is the result of the French media giant Vivendi which already owns Blizzard wanting to take over Activision. The merged business will be called Activision Blizzard and the current CEO of Activision Bobby Kotick will become CEO of Activion Blizzard. According to Vivendi CEO Jean-Bernard Levy the gaming industry will become the core business for Vivendi, which also owns record company Universal and television and movie studio Canal+.

Stepping in, the game is a far cry from Need For Speeds of old, the easy going driving has been buckled down into a serious no-nonsense racer. Even if you do try to tune up the 'unrealism', you wont find much in the way of arcade physics. Damage is pretty fun to watch. You can actually total your car and fail the race altogether. But if you dont get that far, you can watch your car bend, lose parts and still move! Update : The two cars you get in the demo are probably amongst the most coveted. The new E92 BMW M3 and the Nissan GTR. The races they are found in are Speedtrap (I know its not called that, but the concept is exactly the same) and Circuit respectively.
