In the lead-up to the release of DiRT 2, releasing on September 17th, Codemasters is inviting fans to express themselves artistically in the new flash game “DiRTy Tats”.
Players can practice their tattoo artistry on an actress looking to bring some extra attention to her “assets.” You can select your tool, design and colours, and tattoo whatever design you like.
Head over to the DiRTy Tats website and give it a try.
Colin McRae: DiRT revolutionised the racing genre.
With some never-before-seen damage modelling it was highly acclaimed, even though it did leave sim fans sitting rather high and dry. So it's with some anticipation that we booted up our Colin McRae: DiRT 2 preview code, especially after having seen some stunning screenshots recently.
DiRT 2 centres around the World Tour mode, which will take the player around the world through a range of different events. DiRT 2 seems to separate itself even more from traditional rally, catering more to a wider off-road market. This is painful for many traditional fans of the game, as Colin McRae titles used to be the pinnacle of rally, and now rally really has just become a small part of a much larger title. The packaging of the career though, along with the menus is done amazingly in a full 3D environment, which looks incredible. The range of game modes as mentioned is vast, with many modes having been in the original DiRT, but the few new ones really stand out.
Codemasters have announced that Colin McRae: DiRT 2, the next chapter in the racing game series, will be shipping on September 8th in North America and the UK on September 11th.
Powered by the third-generation of the EGO Engine, Colin McRae: DiRT 2 will be published for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP. As previously reported, a Games For Windows LIVE edition will follow later this year with support for DirectX 11.
