Wow long awaited Shift 2 Unleashed comes out this week and I hope many of you are ready to rev those engines on Tuesday. I have to say I am very impressed what they have to offer, especially with the updated “Autolog” used in this title. It would be cool if they started to use this feature in all their future titles. I wanted to share with those of you that have been loyal to the Need For Speed series.  So EA has decided to reward you with their “Loyalty Program”, if you’ve owned or played the previous Need for Speed games like Hot Pursuit, NFS Shift, NFS World, or NFS Undercover;.  There is a nice reward for you!  You will receive reward points, as well as money towards your career in Shift 2 Unleashed! I am a Need for Speed veteran and the rewards are looking tasty.

Here is a Message from the good people at Need For Speed:
