Sega Europe has sent round a quick heads up regarding Sega Rally Revo. Apparently, the Xbox 360 demo's now available for downloading over the Xbox Live Marketplace. Those looking for some racing action should go check it out.

The Sega Rally Revo demo comes with two quick tracks. One's from the Canyon environment while the other is taken from the Tropical environment. Those who download the demo can tear through the tracks in either a Mitsubishi Evo IX FQ3 or a Subaru Impreza STi Spec C Type RA.

The demo is available in all Xbox Live territories except Japan. Sega Rally Revo's full game will be released for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and Xbox 360.

  

It's all good when game producers adapt a clever scheme to show off their video games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl and its frequently updated official website, for instance, to draw attention from eager fans.

And this is also exactly what the guys behind Sega Rally Revo are doing. Keith Burden, the Lead Car Artist for Sega Rally Revo, set up a blog in IGN to give people a peek on what cars to expect in the much awaited racing video game from Sega for the PlayStation 3, the PC, and the Xbox 360.

In his first blog post, Burden introduces the first class cars to be featured on the game: Subaru Impreza WRX STi, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX, Ford Focus RS, Peugeot 206 WRC, Skoda Fabia, and Citroen Xsara Rallycross.

Burden then gives his thoughts on why the cars were selected for inclusion in the game, and mentions in the blog post that there will be many unlockable cars, car variants, liveries as well as specialist cars. The rest of the cars, he says, will be revealed all in good time. The blog seems to be updated weekly, so it'll be best to check his blog for updates from time to time.

While advertisements and press releases do their job of disseminating information, nothing's better than engaging attention more effectively than offering a first-hand look at the game's progress while it's still being developed.

Ain't nothin' like stepping on the gas and blowing by fools on the asphalt especially if your friends happen to be in those opponent cars. Colin McRae: DiRT allows you to do just that and run a race's sweet moments over and over again to either repeatedly gloat at the competition or to just plain watch how your car goes crazy in a crash.

We can tell you what makes this radial-buster's replay system so special but that would just beat the entire purpose of posting this video. Watch here and let the devs themselves fill you in on what's new:

As you probably know by now, Colin McRae: DiRT has been available since May 29 from most major retailers on a pre-order basis. As a special bonus for getting it while it's hot, the fellas at Codemasters will include an access code in the package to grant you access to 10 hidden cars in the game including a feisty Subaru Impreza. Nice way to lure the motor sport fans in.

Microsoft Games Studios and Bizarre Creations are really doing a good job in hiding Project Gotham Racing 4 under the fog of secrecy. Unlike other video games, there have been no other source of information save from the two aforementioned companies. It's a good thing the updates for this racing video game are getting more frequent recently.

Just today, Microsoft Games Studios and Bizarre Creations released the partial roster of real-life cars that will be featured in Project Gotham Racing 4. Before this, the only car known to be in that list is Flux - the car designed by a fan and won the recent Peugeot Concept Car Making Contest. Anyway, some of the iconic cars to careen in the game are as follows:

• '62 Ferrari 250 GTO
• '67 Toyota 2000GT
• '78 Lamborghini Countach LP400
• '98 Subaru Impreza 22B STi
• '04 BMW M5
• '07 Ruf RGT 997
• '07 Lotus GT3RR

Microsoft and Bizarre also divulged that the recent gameplay video for PGR4 was actually their rendition of the beautiful cityscape of Nurburgring. Also, there will be a total of 10 different other locations for the title, two of which include streets of North in Quebec and St. Petersburg.

Project Gotham Racing 4 should be available some time this Autumn.

 

And so the dirt-flinging action roars to life as Codemasters launches the Colin McRae: DiRT playable demos. For the Xbox 360 version, you can now get it on Xbox Live, while the PC version, with a multiplayer event, is available from the DiRT website, which you may visit via our Read link below.

For both demo versions, the game opens with a Crossover race in a competition against Colin McRae himself. Get ready to careen through the twists and turns of Avelsbachring, Germany with your Subaru Impreza WRX STI spec Cs. After that, it's off to the Bark River Off Road Raceway in Michigan.

From here, the road forks for the Xbox 360 and PC demo editions. Xbox 360 gamers will be wheeled off to a Hill Climb event with a Mitsubishi Evo IX. Hopefully you'll make it unscathed to the top of the 1000 feet Windy Point in Arizona. The PC gamers, meanwhile, will be off to an all-new multiplayer high as they will be pitted against up to 100 players vying for the top spot on the Sardinian rally stage at Mounte di li Conchi.

The actual game of Colin McRae: DIRT will be skidding to a halt atop retail store shelves on June 15, for both the Xbox 360 and PC version.
