Codies Weekly Update 04-07-14

Today we found a SNES… You can guess how much “research” is being done in the office this afternoon. NBA Jam, FIFA, Micro Machines – all under scrutiny… We haven’t managed to find our copy of Mario Kart Yet though…

This Week’s Big News

This week it’s the GRID Autosport European release. Yes we know that is was technically last week but you guys had only just got your hands on it and now the tyre smoke has settled we’re over the moon with the feedback we’ve received so far. Here’s a collection of our favourite tweets:

GRID

Another week sees another fresh batch of RaceNet Challenges and you have until July 8th to set your best times.

We’re also really keen to see which car you bought first. @exaenae opted for an Open Wheeler and we’d love to see what you got. Tweet us a pic to @gridgame

DiRT

DiRT fan Avenga76 made internet fame this week with his totally kick ass gaming rig, (seriously… it puts ours to shame). He made us even more jealous when he sent us some pictures of his kick ass car too:

Read all about them both in this week’s Community Spotlight

Team DiRT has been discussing a video that cropped up online this week. Can we, (and should we), try to recreate this? We know you guys can be pretty vocal about your cockpit views so we’d love to hear what you think. Fire us a tweet @dirtgame

Screenshot of the Week

This week’s SOTW comes from #ballin on Steam who decided to park up and watch the fireworks. – Happy 4th of July everyone!

Video of the Week

There is something about slow motion videos of cars that works so perfectly and Tom Smith put together this awesome video featuring just that.
