It’s finally Friday. We’ve got great weather here on the West Coast so and we hope it’s the same wherever you live! Before you run out of the office for the weekend, rack up an extra hour and check out our Week in Review.

Burnout Crash! came out this week! If you haven’t downloaded it yet, definitely watch the hilarious video starring The Hoff and take part in our new High Score Challenge.

We’re steadily inching closer to the release of Need For Speed The Run, but to hold you over for another week, we put out an awesome story trailer for you to feast your eyes on. There are also a couple of unannounced cars in there too!

Speaking of cars we have announced, take a look at the Nissan GT-R SpecV (R35), Chevrolet Camaro SS, and the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe. When you’re done with those, check out what will be chasing them: the Dodge Charger SRT8 Police car.

Also, we wanted to know which you prefer: the Skyline GT-R (R32) or the GT-R SpecV (R35).

Lastly with The Run, NFSDrew sat down with two Art Directors to talk about their influences for the game.

We’re also still running our Battle! Battle! Battle! Photo Contest so make sure to enter that. We’ve got some of our favorite early entries here.

Need For Speed World added the gorgeous Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR 722 Art Director car, and the Chevrolet Chevelle.

There was also a new Ask Marc, now up to 51 episodes!

Finally, we’ve got a new Podcast. This one talks about new things with The Run, Guacamole, and Medieval Fairs. The 97th episode is on iTunes, our RSS feed, and can be streamed from here.
