"In a world where the racing game genre is flooded with Burnouts, Need for Speeds, Forzas, PGR’s and Gran Turismos, one developer decided to deliver not only “another quality racing game” but took a path that no one industry wanted to do: taking a bit of all the racers out there, put them in a bowl. Only difference: they made it better by putting their own special ingredient: Balls."

"The Japanese edition of the game, which is due for release in the winter, will be "fully localised" for the country, and include Japanese speech and text. The game will be bundled with fellow racer Colin McRae: Dirt too, a decision made due to the fact that former Colin McRae games under licence have enjoyed success in the country.

Grid already features content set in Japan, including Drift and Touge events set in locations including Tokyo Shibuya, Yokohama, and Haruna.

"The launch was being held and Zavvi.co.uk’s (the retailer formerly known as Virgin Megastore) flagship outlet on London’s Oxford Street in conjunction with the energy drink Rockstar. So, armed with a pen, paper, no dictaphone, the name of a PR manager and a bag full of dreams I set off for London Town to make my fortune. I arrived in good time to scope out the store and watch staff tear down the last of the HAZE promo material before the festivities started at midday.

Everything kicked off..."

"f you have even the slightest interest in driving virtual vehicles, you have plenty of options. For car collectors and strict simulation buffs, there are Forza Motorsport 2 and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Fans of arcade racers can look to Burnout Paradise and Project Gotham Racing 4. Off-road fans have MX vs. ATV Untamed, SEGA Rally Revo and DiRT.

The team behind the latter, Codemasters Racing Studio, thought there was room in the already crowded videogame racing market for yet another entry,..."

"With GRID just around the bend, the excitement is definitely turned on high. One of the coolest things about GRID and previous Codemasters’ racing games has been the awesome job they do on crashing the cars. We’re gamers and gamers love when things smash. With the technology getting better and better, components like damage are following suit. We decided to ask Senior Producer Clive Moody some questions about their damage system on GRID to help field our curiosity.

Game Informer: Why do so..."

"Codemasters has unveiled Race Driver: GRID's multiplayer features and revealed that the game - due out on PS3, 360 and PC on 30th May - features full damage modelling.

GRID features 32 online race events taking in 80 circuits overall, with support for 12 players online and a ranking system that rewards skill and persistence.

Players will be rewarded with points for winning and beating better-ranked opponents, among other things, graduating from Junior Rookie to Legend as they amass poin..."

A lot of us are aware that GameTrailers does a lot of "360 vs PS3" comparisons. I can't think of a single one of these where they have elected the PS3 as the better version. Well, now you may want to question that, especially after the controversy surrounding Gamespot.

In a recent 360 vs PS3 comparison, this time the subject being GRID, the latest upcoming racing game by Codemasters. In the review they compare the PS3 against...wait, here it comes....the PS3! and guess who lost? The PS3, a...

"Players who download the demo can play a few single-player stages or challenge other players online in 12 player racing competition in both European and U.S. venues.

The single player mode allows players to take a Ford Mustang GT-R for a spin on the streets of San Francisco, compete using a Nissan S15 Silvia in the Advan Drift Trophy at the Yokohama Docks, or race along the Jarama circuit in Spain with BMW 320si touring cars.

Xbox 360 owners can download the Race Driver: GRID from the X..."

"How did this mistake happen?

It was a mistake in our post-production process. After we captured the footage from both versions, some of the footage of the PlayStation 3 version of the game was incorrectly placed in the bin for the Xbox 360 footage. Our video editor on this particular project is not a games person and completely overlooked the fact that he had the wrong footage in the wrong place. We normally have multiple checks from games editorial on every segment that is published, but ..."

"Here is yet another comparison for an anticipated upcoming game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Race Driver: GRID. They both look almost exactly the same, but I noticed at the end when they changed from PlayStation 3 to Xbox 360, the buttons at the bottom for the PlayStation 3 stayed. What is GameTrailers up to? Or is it just a mistake?

Update 12:10AM: GameTrailers have taken down the video.

Update 9:24AM: A gamer has gotten it up on YouTube showing the lies of the video"

"Codemasters has one of the richest backgrounds in driving games in the industry. From dusty back roads of rally to the 24 hours of Le Mans, they’ve put it in a game. Now, like before with Dirt, they’re going back to the drawing board and coming up with more ideas to give hardcore racing fans something different to play. Grid, the reimagining of the ToCA series aims to put the focus of the driving game back on the driving.

If you missed out on our previous coverage, Grid is Codemasters’ sec..."
