REVIEW: DiRT 3 (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)

While hurtling around a narrow country lane in a rally car would fill me with utter terror in real life, everything about doing it in DiRT 3 makes burning rubber while caked in mud a total thrill. DiRT 2 was a fine game when it was released in 2009, but with all the added content on show in this sequel, it's quickly obvious that this is far more than just an incremental update.

REVIEW: Brink (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)

Class based shooters can be a mixed bag. How do you encourage gamers to work as a team rather than going out Rambo-style, all guns blazing, for personal glory? And how do you differentiate yourself from the countless other shooters on the market? Brink, with its unique art direction and parkour controls plants its flag firmly in the genre's A-team, but falls short of becoming the new King of the Hill.
