SO MUCH TRIFORCE — DiRT 3 REVIEW

I love driving games. Even though I drive extremely conservatively in real life–and wouldn’t have it any other way–I really let loose with my inner aggressive driver with various video games.

Codemasters games are amongst my favorites. I got introduced to the company through GRID (where’s the sequel dammit??), then DiRT 2 and now the third game in that series. We’ll get to talking about the game itself in a bit but first a little digression about presentation. One of the reasons I hate EA so much, in fact, is that despite buying the rights to use ESPN’s style of broadcast presentation for FIFTEEN FUCKING YEARS is that they have hardly done a damn thing with it until the last few years. Most of us watch football on TV and we’re used to flashy graphics, interesting stat presentations and whatnot. ESPN 2K5–STILL the best NFL football game EVAR–made use of the ESPN experience in a way that still pulls me into the game more than any other.

Failure. Okay.

There’s nothing more to this post than an image I found amusing.  Would that we could all just click an “okay” button when we fail.

Preview of upcoming August PBS special depicting the Video Games Live concert series.  Here we have the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra and choir performing the opening theme from Civilization IV, performed live in New Orleans.  Pretty neat.
