GRID 2 may be racing its way to PC and consoles on May 28, but that doesn't mean Mac users are being left in the dust. They will be able to get the original GRID when Feral Interactive releases it on March 28.
Unlike most racing games, GRID 2 has a narrative that explains why you're driving these fancy cars--and why winning actually matters so much. But, Codemasters isn't trying to ape EA's Need for Speed: The Run.
When it comes to a game's exciting first "gameplay trailer," far too many publishers are weaselly little cheats, slapping together a mega-montage of exciting moments with a pumping soundtrack. Not Codemasters with Grid 2, no sir. Codies today put out two actual gameplay trailers for its long-awaited race 'em up sequel, showing complete laps from two tracks. How refreshing!

This Tuesday! Tuesday! Tuesday! a demo for Codemasters' arcade racing spin-off Dirt Showdown is smashing! bashing! dashing! and crashing! into PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3! 3! 3! If you like cars, or truly hate them, you might want to play it.
