And there are five more games aside from those. What the hell is a frugal gamer to do? Just take a look at all these games.<br />

And if our memory serves us, <em>ProStreet</em> was initially slated for release sometime in November, so an October (albeit very, very late October) release is welcome enough. And if you want your house to be the "it" trick-or-treat destination this Halloween, we advise purchasing hundreds of copies of <em>NFS: ProStreet</em> to give out instead of the typical candy sweets. Wait a second, give out copies of <em>ProStreet</em> AND candy sweets!

The one that told us to check NeedForSpeed.com on May 31? Guess what? It's May 31, and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/EA/">EA</a> has officially <a href="http://www.ea.com/nfs/prostreet/">announced</a> ... a <em>Need For Speed</em> game (imagine that). The new game, subtitled <em>Pro Street</em>, focuses on players becoming the world's greatest street racer. The press release mentions fully customizable cars that you can fully tweak and tune for maximum performance. It also gives us a few tiny details about the damage system, noting that "every dent, every scratch and every crumpled body panel is a battle scar, proof of your commitment and competitive mettle." The game is also slated to have a "revolutionary online mode," though no concrete details are given. <em>Need For Speed: Pro Street</em> is scheduled to release this November.
