Previews OVERPASS preview and extended gameplay

We’ve been enjoying playing OVERPASS of late and we can’t say for certain that we’ve played anything quite like it. OVERPASS puts you in a choice of quads and buggies and throws an obstacle course or hill climb at you and expects you to somehow not only make it to the finish line but to […]

Reviews DiRT Rally 2.0 review

Codemasters wowed us all when they simultaneously announced and released DiRT Rally through Steam Early Access back in 2014. This wasn’t just the latest title in the long-running DiRT series but a standalone thoroughbred rally simulation aimed to test the limits of player skill. After the somewhat underwhelming DiRT 4 in 2017, Codemasters is back […]

Interviews Isle of Man 2 Gameplay & Davey Todd Interview

News Check out the latest gameplay trailer for Monster Racing Championship

It is fair to say that Monster Truck games have been a mixed bag over the years, those that have succeeded such as 2002 release Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction, tended to be at the right place at the right time. Comparatively basic but delivering an experience which was just what fans needed. A game like […]

Reviews Team Sonic Racing review

It was the Christmas of 1992 when I was introduced to the first two titles in the Sonic the Hedgehog series courtesy of a shiny new Sega Megadrive (or Genesis if you prefer). I’ve always held the Sonic series close to my heart despite its much publicised checkered past. However, there has been one Sonic-themed […]

WRC 8 features new off-road physics on all road surfaces, a […]

Reviews Dre’s F1 2015 Review

For me, this is a seriously important game for Codemasters. It’s their 7th straight year making an F1 game (Although you can argue, 2009 is the black sheep of the family), and their first on next-generation consoles. F1 2014 did not go down well, often called a stop-gap to tide the fans over until this […]

News Dre Plays – Project Cars [Episode 5]

To break up the Career Mode seasons, the game has a lot of other one-off Inivitational events that you can try your hand in, including this one, the German Vintage Touring Car Championship. How I will fare in a car that's as old as my Dad?

News Dre Plays – Project Cars [Episode 2]

The Project Cars Career Mode continues! In this episode, I break my controller and give my car a nickname as I struggle around Snetterton 200. NOT NOW KATO!

News Dre TV – Are Vettel and Rosberg “Bad For F1?”

In this episode of Dre TV, I talk about Bernie Ecclestone's comments regarding Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel as F1 drivers who are "bad for business", while he spoke about how great a promoter Lewis Hamilton has been since becoming World Champion last November. Does he have a point? Or is there more to F1's […]

Here's Episode 1 where I get to grips with the Formula Rookie cars around the Oulton Park short circuit. Enjoy! (PS: A MASSIVE thank you to all my viewers […]

News The Racing Game Chronicles – Split/Second (2010)

And in the second part of my Racing Game Chronicles two-part special, I look at the 2010 Arcade "Explosion-Up" racer that was "Split/Second Velocity" on the Xbox 360, from Blackrock Studio. Blackrock had come off the excellent and stupidly underrated "PURE" from 2008, and their third 360 racing game was pretty darn good too, despite […]

News The Racing Game Chronicles – Blur (2010)

In the latest episode of The Racing Game Chronicles, I move back to 2010, and cover one half of the head-to-head Arcade game shootout that took place in May of that year, with Bizarre Creations "powered-up racing" arcader "Blur", and Blackrock Studios reality-tv style destruction fest that was "Split/Second: Velocity". In this video, I cover […]

News Dre’s Top 5 Drivers of the F1 2014 Season

So, with the 2014 season long in the books, and talk already growing ahead of the first round of 2015 tests in 3 weeks time, I thought it would be a fun idea to go back and rank who I thought, were the Top 5 Drivers of the 2014 Season. And I think it's more […]

News Dre TV – A New Era, Part 2: Ferrari

And in the 2nd part of my "New Era" series, I head towards Maranello and break down what's been going on with Ferrari, where the winds of change have certainly been blowing. Fernando Alonso replaced with Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen in the last year of his contract, the enormous resturctuing taking place in the team, […]

News Dre TV – A New Era, Part 1: McLaren-Honda

In the first of a 2-part series within a series (Huzzah!), I take a look at the changing dynamic of the Formula 1 field and the upcoming 2015 Season. In this first episode, I focus on the the new McLaren-Honda outfit, with Fernando Alonso coming in to (temporarily?) replace Kevin Magnussen, the new Honda partnership, […]

News Dre TV – The New Super License Changes Explained

So, with the FIA making an announcement that they're changing and revamping the way they hand out their Super Licenses, I decided to take a look at the changes, and break them down myself, pondering why we will probably never have another guy like Max Verstappen enter F1 at 17 again, why I think the […]

News F1 2014 – The Hamilton Challenge (China)

I got bored of playing Career Mode on every Codies F1 game they've made to date (No seriously, it's as stale as the 2 week old loaf in my cupboard), so I decided to mix it up, channel my inner Lewis Hamilton, and try to pound Nico Rosberg into submission across the 19 race F1 […]

Reviews Dre’s F1 2014 Game Review

Hey folks, Dre here, and it’s time to review that difficult fifth album for Codemasters, and the F1 franchise, with F1 2014 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. With next-gen consoles now among us, and with F1 2015 already confirmed for next year, the feeling in the air is that this game is nothing […]

Hey everyone, Dre here again with another episode of The Racing Game Chronicles, and in this episode, I go back to October 2007, and Project Gotham Racing 4, the last in the series from the sadly no longer with us, Bizarre Creations.

News The Racing Game Chronicles – Burnout 3: Takedown (2004)

Ah, it was the month of September 2004. The year was 2004. Tom Brady had just won his 3rd Superbowl, Google brought out Gmail to a skeptical audience, Halo 2 rocked the gaming world, and the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years. But for me, none of that mattered. For me, […]
