Ok well give me FUEL at any rate, the latest racing game to be coming out of Codemasters, but this time it is being developed by Asobo studio from France. What then is so significant about FUEL? Well the fact that it will present you with 5,000 square miles of pure open world driving terrain. FUEL is set in a alternate-semi-apocalyptic world where racing junkies are battling it out against each other to win fuel supplies. This is because oil is over the top expensive, nothing like the real world at all then. Check out the video for some awesome in-game footage and more information about the game. It is due to land in 2009.

After literally days of speculation and wondering Codemasters Race Driver GRID has landed on Steam for $39.99 for UK and US customers while those in the rest of Europe will be paying $59.99. The game is also available world wide.

I must say that it is a shame that, despite being a world wide release, Codies have decided to vary the price so much between the UK/US and the rest of Europe. Makes me feel somewhat sad for any European readers. Another slightly disappointing matter is that the Steam release of GRID doesn’t include any Steamworks features. Apart from that this is great to see, I really hope that Codemasters will try to further expand their presence on Steam, they do have some pretty good games.
