Review: Dirt 3



    Since 1998 Codemasters Colin McRae Rally/Dirt franchise has been a critical and commercial success. It has also been noted as being the series that brought realistic type rally racing to computer and console gamers.  Codemasters last effort (Dirt 2) tried hard to cater to the masses, and ultimately disappointed it's longtime followers.  Almost 2 years have passed since the release of Dirt 2, and Codemasters promises PC, PS3 and XBOX 360 owners a return to it's rallying roots. Is this version of Dirt worth your hard earned cash, or should you just drift on by?
