Dirt 3

Publisher: Codemasters

From our Dirt 3 review:

The Dirt series started from such a highpoint that even a 50 per cent dip in quality still puts it ahead of the competition. Thus, while Dirt 3 fails to offer much in the way of surprise or innovation, it remains a solid racing title – provided you can cope with the constant barrage of moronic and needless dialogue, the excessive advertising and the painfully long loading times.
