PlayTM writes: "Colin McRae was a stunningly great rally driver. At the start of his career, he established himself as a giant killer, winning the Scottish Rally Championship in a distinctly humble Vauxhall Nova. He went on to be the first Briton and the youngest to win the World Rally Championship Drivers' title at the tender age of 27 as well as oh so many other significant titles. So it made perfect sense that McRae would be the face of Codemasters' series of rally driving games: Colin McRae Rally. Each title over the past ten years has been a critical success, and now we come to the latest in the series: DiRT 2, and the first since McRae's tragic death in a helicopter crash near his home in September 2007."
What were the genre’s greatest entries ever?
ASidCast: "There are times when you’ve got a lot of free time and very few games that you’d wanna play. This is a list of great games that one must play regardless of how old they get, and not playing these would just be a sin for racing fans. Most of these games revolutionized their genre and probably created their own genre in the process, while some were just too advanced for their time. If in any case you missed these, then you better search for these games and play them for a fun dose of gaming history or as a new experience entirely. "
Bad list, but to each their own.
No Forza Horizon, Driveclub, Assetto Corsa, or Grid Autosport?
And if you can throw in Trials when its not a racing game, why is there no Rocket League?
what shocked me was two games I loved during the ps2 era
JUICED and Street Racing Syndicate, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit
Then you have Forza 3, GT5, and the others you named above... smh
edit: and crazy taxi and trails aren't even racers lOl
Bought Grid 1 on pc for 2.50 last week, playing that at 4k60fps will make you feel nuts for ever spending 100's on racing games.
Says the guy who payed 100's on his 4k rig to play a racing game /s.
JK, Im sure its amazing in 4k... Its amazing in 1080p too so I can only imagine. You should try Grid Autosport, I actually liked that better than Grid.
I'll get it in a couple of years for 2.50. After I beat grid 2 and about 5 other racers I have.
@nowitski2004: I chose Project CARS over Assetto Corsa as a personal opinion,and Grid 1 over Autosport because the first one was great 'for it's time', autosport was good but just not that great.
Rocket League would actually be the next game if could make a longer list,really sorry on that.
@C-H-E-F: Juiced and SRS,are you serious? These are the games that defines the genre?
Hot Pursuit 2010 was Burnout Paradise with licensed carswith cops and wasn't even a better game world.
Crazy Taxi wins on the mobile platform,there are very few racing games on mobile with a open world. And the few there are,arent as good as Crazy Taxi. And racing against the clock makes does it a racing game.
Hardcore Gamer: Each game has been discounted 66%, taking DiRT 2 down to $5.09, DiRT 3 down to $8.49, and DiRT Showdown to $10.19 on their own. The best value for your money is the Megapack, which gives you all three for only $17.
