Codemaster’s GRID Screeches Onto Steam

Codemaster’s latest racer GRID has driven onto Steam for $39.99 ($59.99 in the euro zone). I played the demo briefly on the Xbox 360 and it feels like a pretty competent racer with a great damage model and very shiny graphics. Check the video below if you don’t believe me. GRID has a metacritic score of 87.
