DiRT 3 is yet another rally game in the cycle signed with Colin McRae's name. ... Bla bla bla.... This isn't yet another review. I'm pretty sure that most of you had some experience with this game or it's predecessors. So I don't see any point in writing about how many tracks/cars/play modes etc. are available in the game. Instead I will focus on something that is rarely mentioned in the reviews I've seen thus far. I'm talking about built-in Splitscreen mode! DiRT 3 is the first game from Codemasters which include this mode and today I am going to check how it performs combined with Eyefinity technology.

I. First look at Splitscreen mode.
II. Controller configuration.
III. Eyefinity setups.
IV. Results and summary.

If I'm a fanboy of anything, it's Sega. Funnily enough, I never owned a Sega Genesis, and was never a Sonic fan back in the 16-bit heyday. I was all Nintendo and all Mario, even though I only owned a PC. But, from a content standpoint, Nintendo had my heart (in that console realm).

Fast forward a number of years, and I waited in line on 9.9.99 for a Dreamcast. In college I had dabbled in consoles, and bought a Nintendo64 while I worked at Babbage's (bonus point to anyone who shopped at one of those), but I was overall a PC guy. For some reason I saw that the Dreamcast had soul, and I loved it. In fact, I still own one (VGA adapter and all). Some of my favorite gaming experiences are on the Dreamcast. NFL2K was a monster of a game, and Jet Set Radio will be a forever favorite. I even found all the soundtracks to JSR from a local "anime" shop, back when such things were hard to find.

Recent Sega re-releases and updates have had my heart all a-twtitter. The announcement of Jet Set Radio was like welcoming home and old friend (and here's to hoping for Eyefinity/Surround support), and the recent Sonic Episodes are like a time warp back to my childhood.
