Dirt Showdown (PC) My Purchase. I bought this game in my usual way which was online using my vouchers but this time I did it at a black Friday weekend where I was browsing anyway to see what I could find and there were quite a few games on offer at low prices (not sure if they were to do with the...

Fun gameplay plenty to do

To clarify right off the bat, DiRT Showdown is not your typical DiRT game.  For years, Codemasters has been perfecting the art of the rally racing game, starting with the Colin McRae series and eventually moving onto the DiRT -y path.  But with Showdown , it takes things a little more extreme,...

Those of you that feared for Codemasters as they ditched action games in favour of a sole focus on the racing genre, you can be at ease. This is, after all, what Codies do better than anything else, and although DiRT Showdown isn't exactly the first fruit of labour to spring forth from that...

DiRT Showdown, a racing game with delusions of grandeur attached to muckiness, twisted metal, and engines designed to give teenage boys erections as rigid as a Porche's tail pipe. However, it does boast a very impressive collection of automobiles and game modes to use them in.

I expected graphics as good as Dirt 2 for this but in my opinion them seemed worse. 2560 X 1440 monitor, GTX 670 GPU, i3570k processor, 8gb DDR3 RAM.

Dirt Showdown is nothing like the previous Dirt games. There is little to almost no racing involved. Most is just derby driving, racing with derby aspects, and doing stunts. I got this game free with my purchase of an A8-3870k and for the first game that I installed on my computer, what is there to...
