DiRT Rally early access preview

Codemasters have taken their rally franchise, DiRT, back to its roots with DiRT Rally, now available on PC as part of the Steam Early Access programme. Early Access gives players the opportunity to sample a game during the development cycle, for a reduced fee, months before release of the full game.

Codemasters have previously confessed that last year’s GRID Autosport, was created to appease fans that were disappointed with their GRID 2 racing game. Having tested out DiRT Rally, I’m wondering if they are trying to do the same for DiRT. Continue reading DiRT Rally early access preview

MLB 15: The Show PlayStation Vita review

Now, I’m not much of a sports fan, but I’m very partial to sports games. I learnt the rules of American Football so that I could get my head around Madden NFL 15. So when I was asked to take a look at Sony’s baseball game MLB 15: The Show on the PlayStation Vita just I couldn’t resist it.

Of course, when I was asked to test out the PC version of Project CARS with a Thrustmaster wheel, pedal and shifter kit, I really couldn’t say no.
