GRID’s Million

If you say Codemasters, I can't help but looking back and remembering those great games that once were all those in the Dizzy series, 750cc Grand Prix, or the TOCA Touring Car series. Obviously, we can't forget the more recent Colin McRae series, or games that don't have anything to do with cars, like the ArchLord MMORPG, or Clive Barker's Jericho. Anyway, today it's about racing, and I got some great news - Codemasters' upcoming title, Race Driver: GRID, promises to take things even further than Colin McRae: DIRT did, and the firt proof is already here...

GRID

...because the number of downloads of the demo versions of this game is already larger than 1,000,000!!

On the other hand, you should know that GRID is already Gold, being expected to start shipping on the 30th of the month. The final car list is pretty long, including the Dodge Viper SRT10, Toyota Supra, BMW 320si, Porsche 911 GT3, Lamborghini Murcielago and many others, while the tracks available will be no less than 15, from Donington Park and the Nürburgring GP track, to San Francisco, Washington DC, or Long Beach.

Most people that played the demo already consider this game an impressive one, with amazing graphics that won't require you to upgrade your computer, as long as you have a decent gaming machine for the year 2008.

Now...what else can I say? The demo can be downloaded from every major gaming site, so choose the one which allows you the fastest download, because the demo has almost 900MB in size, and that's it. Godspeed!!!
