Race Driver GRID review

Codemasters know a thing or two about driving games. Already they’ve reinvented their Colin McRae series with DiRT and now they’ve done it again with Race Driver GRID. Of course, this is spiritually the latest TOCA game and you can race touring cars, muscle cars, and Japanese Super Cars around some very good looking tracks around the world. You being by having to earn yourself 40,000 dollars by competing in races so you can do up an old banger you’ve got sitting in your shed and enter some proper races with some proper sponsors. As you start to create a...

Speed Racer review

In case you’re not aware, Speed Racer is the latest movie from the Wachowski brothers, the same guys that made The Matrix films. It’s basically your underdog faces the big corporations story all shot on blue screen with some ludicrous car races set on futuristic tracks. Of course, this makes great fodder for a videogame along the same lines as F-Zero and WipeOut and the version for the DS doesn’t fail to be some good pocket racing fun. Like the afore-mentioned games you race along at breakneck speed round some twisty bendy tracks, doing loop the loops and jumping over...

Burnout Paradise

Burnout Paradise review

Burnout Paradise is a new concept for the brand that some gamers have kept an open mind about, and others have staunchly resisted. That new concept is taking the eye-blisteringly quick game full of single races, challenges and crash junctions, and turning it into an open world where you decide where to race, how to reach your goal or just drive around taking in the nice series.

Fatal Inertia review

Here is My my review is Fatal Inertia on the Xbox 360. Now when you first see this game you’ll instantly think it’s ripped off WipeOut. And you’d be right to think that because in essence, it has. But that’s no bad thing as this game is every bit as playable and has some funky new weapons and fun courses to fly about in. So, it’s a racing game and you work your way through a number of race events split over a few rounds where you aim to be top of the tree by the time all the races...

Colin McRae Dirt 2

Sega Rally review

Sega Rally’s been around for as long as I can remember. At its core it’s always been an arcade racing game which is simple to pick up and play, zooming round the country roads and dirt tracks without too much trouble. Of course, for the hardcore among us we could look into it a bit deeper and use manual gears and powerslide round those corners to get the edge and a better split time. So, this one’s the first one for the next-gen consoles and it’s got something new – ground deformation. Now we’ve seen this before with MotorStorm but...
