F1 2021 Announced For Later This Year

You best believe I’m singing The Rascals’ “A Beautiful Morning” today. Ok, it does help to know I’m writing this long before you’re reading it, but still. The sun is (possibly) shining, the birds are somewhere being drowned out by engines, and…

DiRT 5 Update & Snowy DLC Out now

“Snow no!” “You’ve got snow-where to run to,” and other snow-based punnery I’d normally be too professional to include if it wasn’t our last week. Snow, it is all the rage around this time of the year, and I hate it. Though,…

EA Out Bids Take-Two For Codemasters

Everyone understands the phrase: “Stuck between a rock and a hard place.” Though, I wonder how many understand: Stuck between the cartel and the up and coming drug lord. It’s like the prior, but with guns and knives. I think that’s where…

Dirt 5 (Xbox One) – Review

I am an old man! There was a point in these sports (extreme or otherwise) games: FIFA, Burnout, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, etc., where I could name a majority of the music in the game’s licensed soundtrack. However, in Dirt 5‘s soundtrack, all I…

Take-Two To Acquire Codemasters

You may have noticed that I write a lot about motorsports. In particular, I’ve written about F1 2020 and more several times already this year. I’ve said it before and I’ll repeat it once again, I hate sports with a passion; even if…

I Began Tracking Telemetry In F1 2020; I Still Hate It

You will always remember those moments when you have done something wrong. That time you said the wrong name to someone, or that time you came home after sneakily eating the kebab you said you wouldn’t and your other half shouted at…

DIRT 5: Playgrounds – Hands-On Preview

Counting the number of times I’ve broken DIRT 5 already would take more than a hand, I’ve done it in ways I didn’t know was possible and I completely crashed the game attempting to get a screenshot. I’ve even managed to skip through…

F1 Games Should Have Out Of Season Tracks

Formula 1, as a whole, is a bit boring. I know, that sounds odd coming from the man that reviewed F1 2019 and 2020, giving the latter near-perfect glowing praise. However, between Mercedes winning the last three races in this season alone, and taking…

F1 2020 Gives Monaco GP A “visual uplift”

About this time last year, I said that I don’t like Formula 1 though I do like the games. I’ve since been banging the drum of the latest game to release, either in end of year reflection articles, a video on our YouTube channel, and…

F1 2020 Announced For This Summer

The “current” season of Formula 1 in a state of disarray, so much that Formula 1’s Managing Director, motorsports, and technical director, Ross Brawn recently stated that the current season, as it stands, could officially start as late as October. It’s hard…
