Thursday Night Throwdown 05/05: DiRT 2

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo in the most culturally appropriate way possible: hooning your fool heart out in DiRT 2!

By Ryan Davis  |  May 4, 2011

Codemasters is revving up for more super-sloppy off-road action with the upcoming release of DiRT 3, and what better way to brush up on your power-slides than with its really excellent predecessor, DiRT 2? I can't think of any, so that's exactly what we'll be doing on this week's Thursday Night Throwdown!

If you want to get in on the action, send a friend request to GBTNT on the Xbox 360, and we'll see you out on the track starting tomorrow at 4PM PDT. Until then, get pumped up with over six minutes of pure, uncut, pharmaceutical-grade hooning!

Isn't 5 de Mayo were the Mexicans fought the French...I believe Assassin Creed would be great for this...but Dirt 2 is more "diplomatic" I guess

Hooning; ain't no crime.

This just might be my favorite racing game of all time.  I don't know, that Burnout 3: Takedown was pretty good too.

I knew you were going to do this. I uninstalled it yesterday. Okay Steam, here we go again....
Damn you, Ryan Davis!

Oh wait, does GFWL even do cross-platform? Edit: Apparently not.

I thought it was going to be Perfect Dark Zero :(

God anyone that doenst have Dirt 2 should get it, I own it for the PC. It's almost essential to get a gamepad though, keyboard racing sucks.

BUY DIRT 2, it's often on Direct2Drive for $5

Oh man please include the PC version. Though I doubt too many people have it.
