Sequel to award-winning racer takes off-roading to a new level – see the new ‘Rallycross Stadium’ video
The DiRTiest drive of the year is now shipping as Colin McRae: DiRT 2 rallies onto store shelves across North America today, powerslides into PAL territories on Thursday 10th September and accelerates onto UK streets on Friday 11th September for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 3 (PS3) computer entertainment system, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP (PlayStation Portable) system.
With over 1.5 million downloads of the playable demo, many have taken a test drive of the game’s Trailblazer and Landrush events; now there’s one further reveal with a video showcasing an incredible Rallycross event at the Los Angeles-inspired Estadio Del Ray stadium. Mixing gameplay and replay footage, catch the 8-car dirt track action at www.dirt2game.com.
Delivering a defining and exhilarating off-road racing experience, Colin McRae: DiRT 2 is powered by the third generation of Codemasters’ EGO Engine tech and packed with thrilling new race types, big event atmosphere, stunning locations, and a peerless line-up of super-charged speed machines. Full online functionality with head-to-head competitive online play brings gamers together as part of an extreme sports community.
“With the help of pro athletes like Ken Block, rally racing has evolved and graduated to the mainstream,” said Gavin Raeburn, Senior Executive Producer, Codemasters Studios. “We feel we’ve been able to authentically capture both the intense racing and counter-culture of the sport with Colin McRae: DiRT 2.”
A new breed of off-road racing heroes, including Travis Pastrana, Dave Mirra, Ken Block and Tanner Faust, help players climb the ladder from rookies to off-road racing superstars. Further immersing players into the life of an off-road star, Colin McRae: DiRT 2’s garage is home to a premiere collection of officially licensed rally cars and off-road vehicles, including the Mitsubishi EVO X, the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, the Colin McRae R4 and many others.
DiRT 2 takes players on a World Tour where gamers compete in more than 100 breathtaking events, including aggressive, multi-vehicle races and intense solo challenges set in an array of real-world environments. From the muddy tracks of the Malaysian rainforest to spectator-packed stadiums in London and Los Angeles, racers compete in a variety of contemporary off-road racing styles that include Rallycross, Trailblazer, Raid, Landrush and Rally.
The island inhabitants of Pocket God just can’t catch a break. Previously, in Episode 23 of the smash-hit iPhone deity simulator, the little guys had to deal with the razor-sharp teeth of bloodthirsty piranhas – and two episodes later, they face a new set of predators. And this time, they are much better armed.
Now, in Episode 25: “Sharks With Frickin’ Laserbeams Attached to Their Heads,” the Pygmies of Pocket God will have to contend with Sharks. Sharks with frickin’ laserbeams attached to their heads.
The technologically enhanced creatures are just part of a massive upgrade to the game’s undersea area, also home to the “Bait Master” piranha minigame. No longer must deities go through the tiresome effort of summoning a tsunami – now, the underwater zone can be visited directly from the location menu.
Once underneath the waves, Pocket God players can replace the Bait Master Anchor with the new Chum Bucket, scattering delicious shark bait around the sea, or handing some to a doomed Pygmy. Once drawn out from hiding – probably in some sort of evil volcano lair – the laser-laden sharks will enthusiastically consume their prey. As an added bonus, players can aim the sharks’ lasers using the iPhone’s accelerometer, zapping away at as many Pygmies as they can.

Filling a massive hole (rather than a gap in the market place), Excalibur Publishing is pleased to announce the release of Digger Simulator for PC-CD. Scheduled for release on 18th September 2009 in the UK, Digger Simulator leaves the simulation enthusiast with nothing to be desired.
From a small steam shovel to a huge bucket wheel with a length of 240 metres, you take control of everything. Starting with excavating the footings, with the help of the extensive control unit you have to control the digger’s chassis, paddle and arm. As well as the bucket wheel and steam shovel, you will also need to take control of bulldozers, crawler-type loaders and dumper trucks to execute all the tasks involved in working at a busy gravel pit.
Digger Simulator’s detailed graphics and beautifully designed vehicles serve to make this product as realistic a building site simulation as possible, due in no small part to the realistic controls. It even features multiple camera angles so you can check your rear-end swing!
Close your eyes and you’ll practically smell the bacon sandwiches at 11:00am. The only thing that could make Digger Simulator more realistic would be a white van, a flask, a copy of the Sun on the dashboard and a very politically incorrect wolf whistle at the foreman’s daughter!
Digger Simulator offers endless hours of realistic building site simulation fun. Hobnail boots not necessary!
System Requirements • CPU Pentium III 1.2 GHz • 512 MB RAM • Graphics Card GeForce4, Radeon9200 (Shader 1.0) • Graphic memory 128MB • DirectX 9.0c • Windows ME/2000/XP/Vista • Optional Game Controller

Buccaneer: The Pursuit of Infamy, the critically acclaimed indie arcade game created by Stickman Studios in conjunction with Blitz Arcade through Blitz Games Studios’ Blitz 1>UP programme, is full of more rumbustious fun than ever, with a whole host of new swashbuckling features now available.
Buccaneer now features an all new Co-op Mode with five separate mini campaigns containing a total of 20 new levels. Battle your buddies against the endless waves of Crown ships – with the score stacked heavily in the Crown's favour and time ticking away, co-operation is key to win through and add your name to the Hall of Infamy.
“Buccaneer has already shown just what is possible in the indie game market. Stickman have managed to create high quality visuals with no compromise being made on the gameplay,” says Chris Swan, Blitz Arcade's Business Development Director. “The multiplayer features have already been a huge hit, so with the new co-op options there are even more ways to don your pirate hats and get down to some swashbuckling action.”
Buccaneer’s arcade-style fun invites you to take to the high seas, blast enemy ships out of the water, plunder gold and strike fear into the hearts of your piratical opponents. With great looking visuals and easy to use controls, Buccaneer offers the opportunity to become king of the high seas and test your single-player strategy or teamplay prowess.

Get your fingers on the buzzers and prepare to cause chaos in Monster Rumble, the third addition to the riotously fun Buzz! Junior collection, now available on PlayStation 3. Launching on PlayStation Store at £3.99 parents and their little terrors can run riot in the weird and wonderful Monster Mansion to find out which of the colourful and crazy creatures is number one through a series of 5 fiendish mini-games for up to four players.
Developed by Dundee-based Cohort Studios, this re-release of the well-received PlayStation 2 original can be enjoyed by everyone, even those without official Buzz!™ controllers thanks to intuitive DualShock support. With beautifully rendered cartoon visuals and a great sense of humour, younger players will enjoy the fun aesthetics and hilarious mini-games on offer, while a range of difficulty settings make this challenging for parents.
Buzz! Junior: Monster Rumble has been created using the developer’s internal Praetorian technology, which is also being used on other internal projects. Bruce McNeish, CTO at Cohort Studios explains: "Having our own internal framework and technology provides us with many benefits. We can both turn around projects quickly as well as develop proposal demos with minimum fuss. Having complete control over our internal framework also gives us great flexibility when we are looking at middleware solutions which allow us to concentrate on creating fun content."
CEO at Cohort Studios Lol Scragg said: “We are pleased with the ongoing success of the Buzz!™ Junior series and are grateful that Sony continue to create games for an often overlooked younger audience. We feel that many kid’s games are falling into that ‘casual’ and therefore overly-simplistic pigeon hole. But while Monster Mayhem is aimed at the three-plus market, it can still provide children with a decent challenge and hours of fun in equal measure, something many kids games fail to deliver. With kids skilfully picking up games at an increasingly early age, we have to warn parents that they might be outclassed by their young ones on this one. You have been warned.”
Buzz! Junior: Monster Rumble Key Features and information - Multiplayer madness for up to four players - Buzz! Buzzer or DualShock controller support - Unlockable trophies - Fully customisable characters - PEGI 3+ Rating
