"El Barto Simpson" of NFSStreetdogs has aked me to post some news of their current car modeling contest.

Just like in 2007, NFS Streetdogs stages a modelling contest this year. The model has to be a car for Need for Speed: High Stakes. The contest lasts until december 7th 2008.

Task: Build a NFS4 car which suits this theme: Classic-NFS reloaded plus.
That means, your car has either been featured in one of the first four NFS games (The Need For Speed, Need for Speed 2 (SE), Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit or Need for Speed: High Stakes) or is mentioned in the list provided which consists of cars that fit the style of the first four Need for Speeds.

Rules: Except the wheels, interior and driver, you'll have to build your car yourself. The other parts CAN be taken from other sources, of course with correct credits and - if necessary - the original author's permission. BUT keep in mind, building these parts yourself will earn you some bonus points. Moreover, you'll be able to get a higher score by adding more HS features to your car like nice upgrades, a showcase etc.


You can find the full "allowed" car list on their site:

It's that time of year again... time for another installment of the Need For Speed series. This year brings Need For Speed "Undercover".

Undercover is a far change from the last version, NFS Pro Street... and that is not a bad thing. As we have seen already, Undercover is, as EA puts it, "a rich, cinematic experience where players are an undercover cop taking jobs and competing in races to prove themselves as they infiltrate and takedown an international crime syndicate." But enough corporate speak, let's get into it.

During this year's Community Day, EA presented us with the following statement: Open world action driving adventure. Every word in that sentence means something specific to NFS Undercover. So let's break it down...
