news 28 Posted December 4, 2009 Hi everyone, It's been a longer wait than some might have wished for, but today finally sees the UK release of Colin McRae: DiRT 2 for the PC, complete with a new DirectX 11 capable iteration of Codemasters "Ego" engine. We put the game through its paces to see if it's as fun as throwing a car around muddy tracks rightfully should be, while also briefly checking out the game's DirectX 11 performance numbers to see how things shape up on AMD's Radeon HD 5800 series hardware. Colin McRae: DiRT 2 (PC) review "If it's been a while since you touched a game like this, there's certainly something of a learning curve initially to readjust to the skills required to compete in your average DiRT 2 race, but once it all comes flooding back to you you'll soon find yourself enjoying the almost balletic juggling of brake and accelerator required to safely but quickly traverse each circuit. The track layouts themselves are certainly designed to get the adrenaline pumping - Quite brilliantly so at times, as you find yourself hanging mere inches from a sheer cliff face at times in the name of shaving a few fractions of a second of your lap time or to sneak past an opponent, and taking the word "dangerous" into a whole new league way beyond simply hitting a tree or wall on your way around the track. Once you get into some of the faster cars and find yourself faced with narrow, rock-lined tracks with huge drops around every other corner, nobody will blame you for finishing a race with sweating palms and dilated pupils, such is the wonderful recreation of high speed that this game offers." http://www.elitebastards.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1033:colin-mcrae-dirt-2-pc-review&catid=14:game-reviews&Itemid=27 As always, a news post on your site would be hugely appreciated, and we guarantee to reciprocate by posting any news items received from yourselves.
