Cheshire added, "it's positive for any individual to move when they feel they're at the top." "[Raeburn] leaves having built an incredibly talented team that's led by key players who will drive our racing portfolio forward." There's no word on where Raeburn is headed, but there's a good chance it's Disney World.
Steam weekend sale offers half-price GRID
by Griffin McElroy { Jul 10th 2009 at 2:45PM }
If you've got an appropriately beefy computer, we suggest picking it up. It's really fun, terribly addictive and -- best of all -- doesn't feature any pesky ambulatory architecture.
GameTap Thursday: On the GRID
by Alexander Sliwinski { Jan 8th 2009 at 3:00AM }
- GRID (Windows) - There's something magical about playing this game while sitting in a cardboard box with the top open. We also recommend turning off the TV sound and making your own car noises.
- Magic Academy (Windows) - It's a hidden object game. The digital version of a Where's Waldo book.

by Justin McElroy { Dec 4th 2008 at 11:25AM }
We're far too broke to even think about picking some of these up, but what about you, team? By the way, we'd expect to see at least some of this on PSN today. We'll let you know.

GRID getting new cars, events later this year
by Jason Dobson { Sep 19th 2008 at 5:15PM }
Another release, adding a V8 Supercars category and the Australian Bathurst circuit, is expected in the coming months. At this time, the Codies are tight-lipped regarding both price and an exact release date for any DLC, saying only that the first batch will drop this Fall for consoles, while PC players can expect information relevant to them to arrive "shortly."

DS Fanboy releases for the week of August 4th
by Alisha Karabinus { Aug 4th 2008 at 12:17PM }
Another week, another bunch of sequels and franchise continuations ... at least, among this week's Japanese releases. The rest of the world is looking at pretty average fare, with a few exceptions. Those Japanese releases are just giving us more and more reasons to import!- The Cheetah Girls: Passport to Stardom

Hell's Kitchen trailer is a total donkey, plus other Nintendo Channel vids
by Candace Savino { Jul 21st 2008 at 7:00PM }
Another Monday means more videos on the Nintendo Channel, and is there anything worth watching? Well, not really. We did appreciate the Hell's Kitchen Info Video, though, if only so that we could mock it. Who knows how the game will actually play, as a Cooking Mama with actual recipes might be kind of fun. (Even if this video doesn't make it look fun.) But what's the point of using the Hell's Kitchen license if Chef Ramsey isn't going to be his total cad self?
They definitely toned down Ramsey's personality for the game, or at least it appears that way from this trailer. Spouting lines like, "Not good so far," and, "I need you to really -- seriously -- up your game," are laughable coming from the chef's mouth. "Don't even touch another thing in this kitchen" is the worst it gets, apparently. Wow, color us scared.
To see the entire list of videos on the Nintendo Channel this week, just click past the break.

Design a GRiD livery for the game's upcoming DLC
by Terrence Stasse { Jul 4th 2008 at 5:00PM }
Going a step further, Codemasters artists will then turn that into game art for the car. And not only does the winner get his (or her) car in the game, but they also get " a load of GRID swag" and "a framed high-resolution render of your car as it will appear in the game." The contest ends July 25th, get designing!

Race Driver: GRID patches tire, races on
by Dustin Burg { Jun 12th 2008 at 11:45AM }
Codemasters just released (or will be releasing soon) a new Race Driver: GRID patch whose goal is to make your GRID gaming more GRID-like and less "this game sucks"-like. The patch or as we like to call it, a "title update", will fix an entire laundry list of bugs, including numerous network updates, a few gameplay tweaks, achievement fixes and our personal favorite, a "fix for occasional excessive smoke coming from other players in network mode". Because, as you're well aware, that excessive smoke really took away from the racing experience. View the complete list of Xbox 360 GRID Big Versus pits all three GRID versions against each other

If you're the kind of person who drools when screenshots are cut in half and then re-spliced with similar shots from different platforms, there's no time to waste!
