Dirt 3 Review
(Multi-platform)

By Steve Haske at 5:30 PM on July 21, 2011

I cut my teeth with Dirt on a particularly nasty hairpin run in the series’ second installment. Having previously gotten a small taste for rally years ago with Gran Turismo 3—a game I was otherwise terrible at—I’ve been interested in that kind of racing since, but the prospect of reviewing a realistic racer (even an offroad one like Dirt 2, which just happened to fall into my lap) was an intimidating prospect....  read more

Sometimes it seems as though art directors’ reference points began with Alien and end with Aliens.
