It's not exactly earth-shattering stuff, like the pieces we found most interesting were the pictures from the camera chase car, other than an Infiniti or a Porsche, but is actually a Mercedes-Benz M-Class.

While we liked the place, the second had others look at us with her ​​go-round. We always wonder about the effectiveness of your brand compared to others when it is made ​​clear, to try and rub some of this gloss on its own competitive identity. And so secure by throwing a name that we associate closely with obesity twins motorcycles? We may get the M hybrid, and we are happy to tend to look at it, but if Toyota really wants to impress, we would like to have some comparisons with competing products to see, like how they on a road course leads, or even how it fits with non-hybrid models.

Video: Tanner returns in Driver: San Francisco


Get excited, kids. The Driver franchise is back with a new chapter, and this time the story takes the loss to San Francisco. Our good friends at Joystiq have to spend a little time behind the controls of the game before the start. The action takes after the Driv3r, which means we finished playing around in the late 70s. Ubisoft Reflections has taken the trouble to make a good portion of the city, Marin County, East Bay Iceland and Treasure of our agonizing pleasure, although away to Joystiq, this is not the most interesting part of the gameplay.

Early in the campaign spending, our hero, Tanner lands in a coma and the rest of the story haunting San Francisco and has random rider on the trail of the infamous Jericho. Apparently, players can grab any vehicle they see press simply by lining up a crosshair and a key. It sounds a little wobbly on us, but that does not mean that we do not flop a few hours the light of our life on fire on the couch with Driver: San Fracisco if it lands in August this year.

Fuel flooding of the cylinder, and despite his efforts, he is a raging ball of frustration after desperately trying to start to know the motorcycle reduced.
