Next week will see the release in the US of the PC port of Flatout: Ultimate Carnage, the port of the 2007 Xbox 360 arcade racing game from developer Bugbear and publisher Empire Interactive. However if you like to download your games rather than head to the retail stores, Valve's Steam service has a deal for you.
If you pre-order Flatout: Ultimate Carnage via Steam for $19.99 before the end of the day on August 26, you will be able to download the first game in the series, Flatout, immediately for free. You will be able to check out the unique gameplay of the first title (complete with ragdoll driver mini-games) before the graphically enhanced Flatout: Ultimate Carnage is made available.

Once again, yes this is a port of Flatout: UC from the 360... which was in turn a direct port of Flatout 2 with updated graphics. That is quite an important point that I never see mentioned anywhere. I'm really worried that Flatout fans will be suckered into paying for what is essentially a patched version of a game they already own. It already happened to me when I dumped $30 on the 360 version, I don't want it to happen to anyone else.
