  • News UK Sales Charts: You Guessed It

    To be fair -- not much else launched in the UK last week to challenge Zumba Fitness' unbeatable reign

    There was movement elsewhere however. Cars 2 climbed into second, while Call Of Juarez: The Cartel sticked to the top three. Elsewhere there's really not much else to say: regular favourites DiRT 3, FIFA 11 and Call Of Duty: Black Ops all charted...

  • News UK Sales Charts: Keep On Dancing

    Urgh

    Zumba Fitness is still top of the UK sales charts this week, beating out Codemasters' DiRT 3 and Activision's Transformers: Dark Of The Moon to take the top spot again. The top ten was familiar territory this month, with Top Spin 4 and Virtua Tennis 4 both taking up slots in the aftermath of Wimbledon, and favourites such as L.A. Noire, Brink...

  • News UK Sales Charts: Always Bet On Duke, Baby

    Despite a number of seriously scathing reviews over the weekend, Duke Nukem Forever has knocked L

    A. Noire</a> off its perch at the top of the UK sales charts, scoring a number one finish for the long-in-development FPS. L.A. Noire finished up in second, while Sucker Punch's new superhero escapade finished up just behind Zumba Fitness in...

    L

    A. Noire</a> has held onto its spot aloft the UK sales charts, in a week where very little has changed in the top ten.

  • News Plenty Of DiRT 3 DLC On The Horizon

    We played DiRT 2 through to completion and then some last year

    One thing we always lamented about the game was a serious lack of DLC. We would have happily splashed out on more tracks and cars, but the content never really came. Thankfully, the brilliant DiRT 3 will not fall to the same fate. A bunch of trophy leaks have revealed four new DLC packs...

  • News Watch Ken Block Tear Up Battersea Power Station, All In The Name Of Video Games

    DiRT 3's pretty hot on this gymkhana malarkey

    We still haven't quite got a grip on what the activity entails, but it seems to focus pretty heavily on doing ridiculous things in a rally car. While we'd probably burst into tears at the prospect of driving an expensive car so recklessly in real-life, we can bask in the glory of professional driver Ken...

  • News DiRT 3's Gymkhana Battles Look Crazy, Scary, Awesome

    Man, if we had a super-expensive rally car and an empty car-park, we'd totally start doing stunts in it too

    We're not so sure we'd like to share the action with a friend though. Things look a bit scary when the cars are like millimetres away from colliding. We suppose that's what makes Gymkhana so extreeeeeme. In short: DiRT 3 continues to look...

  • News DiRT 3 Likes To Party With Cardboard Robots

  • News Way To Send Our Hype Levels Through The Ceiling, DiRT 3

    We played DiRT 2 for an outrageous amount of time

    When we got the platinum trophy, we'd probably put in close to 40 hours with the rally title. To be honest, despite absolutely adoring the previous entry, DiRT 3's been bubbling under our radar a bit. Well it had been. Now Codemasters has released this amazing slow-motion trailer showing off Group B...

  • News DiRT 3 Dated For May 24th Worldwide Release, We're Quite Excited

    We loved DiRT 2

    The game's combination of simulation and arcade rally racing was perfect, leaving us gagging for more after seriously prolonged sessions behind the wheel. Naturally, we're a little bit hyped for DiRT 3, which has just been given a May 24th worldwide release window. Codemasters reckons that DiRT 3 will have “double the track...

  • News Sliding Cars Around *Is* Ridiculously Good Fun

    The most fun thing about DiRT 2 (aside from its lavish presentation and addictive progression) was the way the cars handled

    It wasn't a simulation game, nor it was it an arcade game — it was somewhere in between. That made sliding around corners ridiculously satisfying. Codemasters clearly understands the strength of its drift mechanic, with this...

  • News It's Probably Safe To Assume That DiRT 3 Will Be As Pretty As A Painting

    Codemaster's generally put out super pretty games

    Codemaster's DiRT franchise in particular looks pretty great. Is it any real surprise that first shots of DiRT 3 are amazing, then? Not really no. </em>

  • News DiRT 3 Gets Weather Effects, We're Singing In The Rain

    As promised, Codemasters has released the first trailer for DiRT 3
