This weekend DiRT 2 is on sale for $19.99.


I reviewed this game a few weeks back, but if you don't feel like reading all that here's the quick lowdown. DiRT 2 is a great looking, fun, arcadey racing game that is easily approachable with great multiplayer. It's not Burnout levels of arcade action, but it's certainly not a sim either. Games are easy to get going with your friend, thanks to the first good implementation of GFWL I've seen. It even supports Racing Wheels, DX11 and TrackIR if you have the hardware.

If you're still unsure there is a demo available.

Bottom Line

Worth It?


Yes, for $20 it's a steal.

Caveats?


If you don't like racing games, or your racing games need to be as realistic as possible this game isn't for you.


"Weekend Deal?" is a whenever the fuck I feel like it feature where the weekend deal on Steam is given a short review to let you know if it's worthwhile.

The new boosters are understandable, having ways to make money is a good idea. However, it seems to be a little premature because there is not a lot of depth to the game yet. [url=http://madbohem.c...
