News: Original joke or not, it's the perfect lead in to let you know that EA has announced Need For Speed Underground 2.
In a move that should surprise no one, EA has announced that Need For Speed Underground 2 will make it's way to all three consoles and the Game Boy Advance sometime late this year. They've even released a few short details:
"Need for Speed Underground 2 will challenge gamers to immerse themselves in the tuner culture, exploring an expansive, free-roaming city divided into five distinct neighbourhoods. Gamers will encounter rival racers who will initiate events, tip players off to the hottest racing spots, and show them where to buy the most sought-after licensed aftermarket upgrades.
The game will feature new game modes, deep new performance customisation and tuning, and more than 30 licensed cars. The game also delivers twice the visual customisation upgrades as the original game, providing a staggering 70 billion possible car combinations for total automotive self-expression."
