Darlings named in Queen’s birthday honors (News)

Jun 16, 2008

David and Richard Darling, co-founders of Codemasters, were both made Commanders of the Order of the British Empire (CBE), which sounds like a real-time strategy Harry Potter game.

We've been big fans of Codemasters since the days of Dizzy and Brain Ache, but the UK firm is better known for ultra-realistic racing games these days and Lord of the Rings Online. The Darlings literally went from bedroom coders to business superstars, and ...

Colin Mcrae: DiRT Sales Top 500,000 in First Week (News)

Jun 28, 2007

With week one sales out the door, Codemasters is proud to announce that DiRT, the company's critically acclaimed new racing title, has exceeded expectations across the board. If DiRT's early review score of 9/10 from Official Xbox Magazine (U.S.) wasn't any indication, Codemasters is now reporting that week one sales of the game have surpassed 500K copies globally, and the playable demos for the Xbox 360 video game entertainment system from Microsoft and the PC have been downloaded over 500K times worldwide.

Colin McRae: Dirt (Review)

Jun 11, 2007

Let's start with a moan. What percentage of people actually play their 360 on one of those High Definition Television things? It's got to be well under half of you. Now, we know that it's a Microsoft remit that every Xbox 360 game is to be optimized for 720p on pain of death, but you'd like to think developers would actually test their games on a standard def TV before kicking them out of the door and out onto retail ...

Colin McRae DIRT - hands-on (Preview)

May 14, 2007

Everything you know is wrong. Well, probably not everything, even if you went to a good school. Anyway, Colin McRae has changed: its been totally reinvented, but in a good way. In a really good way. So out goes the porridge-pale Scot glued in a Subaru and racing where your only rival is the ticking of the clock, and in comes a horde of intelligent drivers, enough cars to jam I-5 and an annoying American commentator so “pumped” that hed probably burst into a shower of Moms apple pie ...

Colin McRae: DIRT (Preview)

May 3, 2007

Obviously, as MotorStorm has so brilliantly demonstrated, what people want most from a racer these days is down and dirty mud-splattered action where rival cars do everything in their power - and a little more besides - to make sure they cross the finish line first. Where's the fun in racing on your own through checkpoints against the clock when PS3 can handle multiple cars smashing up scenery and each other in fierce, no-holds barred battles? Racing games need to move with the times to compete ...

Dirt never looked so good - stunning new trailer (News)

Mar 28, 2007

Colin McRae: Dirt looks amazing and Codemasters is only too happy to show it off. This new trailer is just a teaser of what the game will look like and, of course, it's stunning. Good as it may look, however, it doesn't look like real-time graphics to us, which is a shame because the actual game looks so good that in-game footage would easily have been impressive enough. Just check out our screens through the Images tab, which DO represent in-game visuals. Colin McRae: Dirt is expanding the ...

Colin McRae: DIRT (Preview)

Mar 21, 2007

Colin McRaes Rally was a fun, if under appreciated, series from the Xbox and PS2 days, and now the series is restarting its engine and we must say, DIRT never looked so clean. Rally racing may not be as big or popular as NASCAR in the US, but DIRT promises to make you wanna drive around in the mud and the muck, spraying it all over your ...

Colin McRae: Dirty new images (News)

Nov 16, 2006

Thursday 16 November 2006 These new images from Colin McRae: Dirt, Codemasters' reinvented, next-gen vehicle for the off-road racing maestro, show off the game's lush visuals thanks to a newly developed game engine called Neon. Dirt is the first game to use the engine, which has been created by Codies' own computer bods. Hit the images tab above for more views. Colin McRae: Dirt drops the series' tight focus on the World Rally Championship, instead taking in a wider array of off-road events, ...

Colin McRae: Dirt (Preview)

Oct 2, 2006

Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees. It might sound like the kind of thought that went through co-driver Nicky Grist's mind as Colin put their Legacy arse-first into an oak, but actually that is how Codemasters felt after six years of slaving to create the more-dour-than-salted-porridge series. So they took a two year break from the franchise, spending the time looking beyond merely recreating another stultifying but accurate simulation. Instead they've gone further than mere ...

Colin McRae gets mucky (News)

Jul 20, 2006

Dirt is the UK developer's most diverse McRae game yet with off-road racing, desert challenges, hill climbs and Rallycross events, while the vehicle line-up includes Dakar-style trucks, super-powered 4x4s and ...

New rally racer muds it up (News)

May 4, 2006

Codemasters has today confirmed that its much loved and hugely successful off-road series is to reappear after its two year pit-stop as a next-gen racer, under the working title of CMR'07. Currently penciled in for unnamed "next-generation platforms," the British-developed veteran racer will include all manner of enhancements and new modes alongside its traditional high-speed rallying, with the focus on realism and detail. Along with the international events, official cars and real tracks, ...
