Race Driver: GRID released for PC, Xbox360, and PS3

Race Driver: GRID was came out today. To get things started off with a bang, the guys from CodeMasters Studios hired a squad of sweet, sweet luxury cars to pull up in front of a Oxford Street game store. The six supercars had a collective price tag of over a cool million (CDN), and included the following: a Aston Martin DB9 Volante, Aston Martin DB9 Coupe, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Mercedes-Benz SLK55AMG, Range Rover Sport HST and Bentley Continental GT.

Oh yeah -- the game. Race Driver: GRID is a fantastic looking race driving game. It is sort of what you'd expect from such a game -- you get cars, you race them, you try to knock your friends off the road in multiplayer; that sort of thing. The video below does not really do the quality of the models justice -- this game's graphics are up there with the best that Gran Turismo has to offer.

Best part of this all is that PC version has a demo you can download and check out for yourself.  If you like racing games, and have the hardware, I recommend you check it out -- I was playing it out briefly last night, and its pretty good, if you are a fan of the genre.

But you must have this much horsepower to play:
