Review by Matt S. Over a number of years now, Codemasters has steadily built the F1 series into a top-flight racing game contender, and one of the few in the genre that manages to straddle the line between a serious simulation for fans of the sport, and something accessible to…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Codemasters is reliable with F1, and that’s just as well, given that it’s my racing event. I’m happy to give rally and V8s a miss, and downright glad that NASCAR isn’t a thing down this way. F1, though, is where you’ll find me up at the…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. In what is a fond memory of mine, I inherited from my grandfather his collection of Matchbox cars. Some weren’t in that great condition, nor were most of them rare or collectible by any means, but often, much to the amusement of my grand imagination as…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. As I’ve said in reviews in the past, designing a rally racing game is surely something of a blessing and a curse for developers. It’s a blessing on the one hand because there’s relatively little AI work to do. The only car on the track is…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. There are more racing games with more tracks and more cars than DiRT Rally, but after having logged a lot of hours with this title, I am not sure there are many more racing games out there that are better than this one. This is a…
Read MoreFormula 1 remains my favourite form of racing. There is something about the way the cars speed around the track that is elegant, graceful, and even beautiful. It’s fast and loud, sure, but it’s also a technical and has rules of behaviour on the track that are downright gentlemanly (even…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. When I think of Codemasters I think of great simulation racing games such as the GRID and F1 franchises, so it came as a bit of a surprise that the publisher would take on a game like Toybox Turbos. I’m rather glad that it did, because…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I was absolutely mystified that F1 2014 was exclusive to last generation consoles and PC. Surely, with all developers now effectively moving their franchises to the next gen consoles, Codemasters needed to at least release a “HD” version of the game on the PS4 and Xbox…
