In this video, professional Rally Car driver, Ken Block, talks about how he got into competing and his role in helping to develop DiRT 2 so that it produces a very realistic experience. Oh, if it seems like Block is coming off as some kind of living billboard for Monster Energy drink, it's not your imagination. Even his virtual car pimps it - perhaps it's even fueled by it. We'd make a joke about how he should be bathing in the stuff, but a couple of models actually spray him with it at the end of the video.

Codemasters already has an off-road racing game due out in 2009 (that would be Fuel) but that apparently isn't stopping the UK publisher from releasing another such game next year. IGN has the first word, interview and screenshots on Colin McRae: DiRT 2, the sequel to the 2007 released racing game.

The interview doesn't have a lot of info on the game itself; it does say it will use a enhanced version of the previous game's EGO graphics engine and hints about the single player campaign, the replay feature and the online multiplayer support. Codemasters also retained the Colin McRae name from the late racer's estate and the game's producer says there will be tributes to McRae in the game.

Codemasters released a new patch for the 2007 off-road racing game, DiRt. This patch updates the game to v1.22, fixes bugs and enhances gameplay.
