EA’s plan to acquire racing game factory Codemasters may have been one of the smartest purchases that the company has ever made. With the UK powerhouse producer in its pocket, EA not only has access to IPs such as Formula 1, Dirt, and Grid, it has actual talent that it can trust with its own racing game properties as well.

Don't already have enough games to play during this silly season? Don't fret, the Codemasters Humble Bundle has you sorted.

Codemasters' new racing game is another entry in the popular GRID series.
