    I don't how my brain works, but for some reason I have been really into Dirt 2 PC for a few days now. I have a week off work so I am able to back to games I haven't finished yet, but Dirt 2 seems like a strange one even to me. Skyrim, Rage, Gears 3, and countless others are waiting for my attention but I guess I just love DIRT!

    Oh well. S Rank here I come!

    Same thing happen to me last year. I tried it once, played one race, never went back. I heard Drew and Ryan praise it so I went back gave it another chance and played it non-stop for a week or two.

    @nomorehalfmeasures:

    My interest could have been subconsciously triggered by watching the A10-C Warthog Quick Look with Drew and then remembering how much he loved Dirt. In fact I think that's what it was!

    I wanted to get into Dirt 2, but couldn't get the demo from Steam to run on my PC. Is there a trick to it that I don't know?

    Dirt 2 is much better than Rage. Yeah I said it! Now Skyrim and Gears on the other hand....

    So... is Dirt 2 better than 3? I haven't played either but traditionally really like rally games.

    @TheJohn: I know a lot of people had problems with the demo but haven't had any issues myself. Do you have GFWL on your PC? I know that was a problem for some people.

    2 is more bro-ish, has more tracks and locations and the tracks themselves are more fun, but 3 has Gymkhana and snow and rain.

    @bibamatt: Still haven't started Dirt 3, but the Rally portions of Dirt 2 are great. Only thing is, there are a lot of events where you are racing round tracks with 7 other cars, and whilst there is a lot of true rallying in the game there is also a lot of "other stuff".

    Overall I would definitely recommend Dirt 2 and will be on Dirt 3 shortly but I'm still waiting on a new Rallisport Challenge game!

    Haha im weird too. I just got GRID because I really enjoyed dirt 3 and dirt 2 so I was always curious about GRID. So I got it in the steam sale and have put about 8 hours into in the last two weeks. Really cool game, and now really excited for GRID 2.

    I know what you're talking about. Dirt 2 is the only game I've gotten an S rank in on the 360.

    @Pageboy: Ahh, thanks duder. The GFWL didn't cross my mind. I bet that's my problem.

    Also, does anyone have any experience with playing this game on the keyboard?
