The summer months are usually dead in terms of new PC games but this year it looks like things will be a bit different. StarCraft II is already set for a July 27 release and today Electronic Arts announced that their free-to-play racing MMO Need For Speed World will officially launch on July 20.

As we reported on Wednesday, the game can be downloaded and played for free up to a point but the driver's progression stops at level 10. In order to go to higher levels players will have to pony up $19.99 for a Starter Pack that will also have extras like a one week head start on the game's official launch date, an exclusive vehicle (depending on what retailer you buy it from) and more.

Santa Claus may be jolly, but he's also nosy and quite vengeful. He makes a list then checks it twice, and definitely spies on you to determine whether you've been naughty or nice. If you've been a pest in 2008, do all the good deeds you can before Christmas to avoid seeing any of these under your tree come December 25.

The latest trailer for Need for Speed: Undercover uses all in-game footage to show off the spectacular high-speed moves needed to doge the cops.
