These action motorsports racing titles will be powered by Planetwide Games' innovative online technology development engine for Multiplayer Online Games (MOG) for competition and a variety of console game formats to capture the exhilarating world of dirt track racing with the "Outlaws".

The World of Outlaws Sprint Series Video Game featuring the drivers of the Mean 15TM for 2006 is scheduled as the first release. This game will immerse the player into the excitement and drama of dirt track racing through the world of interactive entertainment. This interactive racing world will be complimented by the Multiplayer Online Game action and allow gamers the chance to simultaneously experience life in the driver's seat of the true dirt track racing culture of the World of Outlaws Sprint Series. These new games will advance the World of Outlaws past the levels previously achieved with the 2002 Playstation video game.

"We are extremely excited about the power of the World of Outlaws brand and their loyal fan base," said Kevin Donovan - President of Planetwide Games. "Outlaws is a natural fit to showcase Planetwide Games' next generation video game reality engine. This engine will give the gamer the unique opportunity to experience game play that is truly the World of Outlaw Racing. Our reality engine will also allow the gamer to customize their sprint cars, view the race from the racers perspective, and experience dirt track racing from the starting line all the way to checkered flag directly from the driver's perspective. Through these motorsports games, new opportunities abound with our global strategic partnerships, new channel partners and the potential for new in-game advertising in the World of Outlaws".

Online players will be able to test their skills as they create a customized sprint car designed to outperform and outlast the competition from local racers across the country and worldwide. Even drivers who smoke the track one weekend will still have to spend long hours in the garage to stay on top of their game. With 28 years of hard-fought history behind it, this grass-roots "outlaw spirit" is what the success of the real-life touring series is based upon today.

Il portale di Eurogamer ha pubblicato la propria recensione del recente MotoGP3: il titolo della THQ viene valutato con un voto finale di 7 su 10.

Of course, it's only really on the PC that the unnecessarily complex controls are even a problem, which highlights the only serious problem with this game. It is a pity, for it is a would-be 'great' game, and on the Xbox would be reasonably scored as such. But, on a PC, the complexity of the default controls and the horrors of the PC keyboard for this kind of thing force the mark down to a mere 'very good'.

La EA ha pubblicato un nuovo video di anteprima dedicato al prossimo Need for Speed Most Wanted: a questo link potrete ammirare le varie possibilità di custom per le vetture offerte dal gioco. Qui sotto invece alcuni nuovi screenshots che mostrano le vetture della Polizia!

Il portale di Racesim Central ha pubblicato la propria recensione del recente Cross Racing Championship 2005: il titolo della Invictus viene valutato con un voto globale di 82%.

Invictus has thought about the online community by allowing players to create and import their own vehicles, skins, sponsor stickers and in the future maps. One of the reasons why “1nsane� was so popular and enjoyed an extensive longevity was because of the vehicle additions. So this time around Invictus has released a “CRC 2005 Car Tool� which makes it easy to create vehicles (using MAX plug-ins) and lets others download those vehicles!...

Puntuale, da un mese a questa parte, l'appuntamento settimanale con "Appunti di viaggio", il diario di netKar PRO che ne descrive la storia e, da questa settimana, lo sviluppo. Online questa settimana, assieme al quarto volume, il primo screen ufficiale del simulatore di Stefano Casillo, davvero molto interessante.  

Prima recensione completa, corredata da screenshots inediti, per il GT Legends dei Simbin, che viene giudicato con un voto globale di 8 su 10 dal portale di Eurogamer. Per i vostri commenti correte qui!

When the offline experience is so rich, moaning about the fact that Simbin have capped multiplayer at sixteen is slightly uncharitable. Until the game hits the streets it will be difficult to assess whether GTR's MP foibles have been ironed out. So far if our limited low-headcount experience is anything to go by, the signs are good.
