It’s a good thing our Avatars have endless walk-in closets, because there’s yet more
wearable advertising licensed clothing coming for them, this time from Codemasters and its military sim
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. According to the game’s community manager in a post on the
Dragon Rising forums, the clothing will be available “soon” and start at the seemingly standard 80
($1) — probably for one of the several T-Shirts.
Speaking of which, check out how gung-ho Dexter’s sis, Deb, looks wearing one of them (right).

Another Tuesday, another entry in the ever expanding Xbox Games on Demand library. This week, it’s Race Driver: GRiD, the well-reviewed 2008 racer from Codemasters. The game is available everywhere except Japan, which gets Raiden Fighters Aces, a fact that fills us with jealous rage. Still, if you’re a fan of the Codies school of racing, you might consider picking it up (be sure to try the demo first).
As usual, prices vary by region.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is set to receive a network optimization patch alongside the game’s first DLC at the end of October, according to executive producer Sion Lenton. In an interview with Eurogamer, Lenton said the team at Codemasters has planned for more downloadable content, but has yet to decide what the new content will be.
“It’s not a lot of fuss for us to make new content – it’s actually quite easy for us to get it out there, with regards to things like levels, game modes, etc,” Lenton said. What is being fussed about are the bevy of balance issues players of the military shooter have vocalized on the game’s official forum. According to Lenton, the upcoming patch is set to make the game “flow a bit better.” The patch comes at a good time, hoping to catch players before they “flow” directly into that other military shooter launching in November.

Guys, if you haven’t been keeping up with Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, then brace your butt for the first glimpse at its massive multiplayer action. The latest trailer comes from the game’s official site, and impresses us not only through the sheer scale of the maps shown, but also — oh man, did you see that helicopter blow up everything?
Sorry, what were we talking about?

Guitar Hero 5, which is like the tenth (give or take a couple) installment in the series, has resonated with UK consumers and hit a high note atop the Chart Track all-formats chart. The Dark Knight of Arkham Asylum — who was perched above the charts for two weeks — slipped off the top to the number three spot, with Colin McRae: Dirt 2 taking the silver.
The Beatles: Rock Band premiered at the number four spot, which some are sure to find disappointing. Both Guitar Hero and Rock Band have previously debuted at the fourth and sixth spot, respectively, with previous iterations. Music games may be on a sales decline, but they apparently still know how to make an entrance.

Sony continues its third-party publishing strategy in PAL territories today by taking up Codemasters’ DiRT 2. Unlike the Ghostbusters venture, however, this is not a timed exclusive for PlayStation platforms. MCV reports that Sony will publish the PSP and PS3 versions of the game, while Codemasters handles publishing duties on all other platforms.
Codemasters’ senior VP of publishing for EPAC, Axel Herr, is glad to have Sony take over, citing the series’ “great affinity with the PlayStation brand in PAL territories for over 10 years” as one of the key factors behind the decision. We’re sure all of the buzz around the PS3 Slim didn’t hurt either.

A demo for Codemaster’s upcoming off-road racer Colin McRae: DiRT 2 is now available on the European PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace.
Dive into two events in the demo, both available to play in single player offline and 8 vehicle online multiplayer. The Trailblazer event sees players stepping behind the wheel of a Mitsubishu Eclipse GT and negotiating the challenging Moroccan terrain on a point-to-point track filled with both hairpins and flat-out straights.
Players can also race at the Ensenada Port circuit in Baja California in the Landrush event, taking on this 8 player race over bumps and jumps in the West Coast Choppers Stuka Trophy Truck.
Colin McRae: DiRT 2 will be available for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS and PSP across the US on the 8th of September with European territories following on the 10th and the UK on the 11th.
Get down and dirty with this Racing Gameplay trailer before heading off into the dust with the Crash Montage gameplay trailer below.
