Codemasters announced yesterday that is has agreed to acquire Slightly Mad Studios. Meanwhile, we all know Slightly Mad Studios for their racing simulations titles. We believe this is an extremely good business move for Codemasters. Subsequently, they will acquire the position as a world-leading developer and game publisher for racing titles.

However, both companies have created some brilliant AAA titles. Codemasters has over 30 years in this gaming arena. They have been a UK leader for racing titles and created the critically acclaimed  DiRT and GRID games. Slightly Mad Studios have been in the arena for over 10 years. They are the owner of the Project Cars franchise, again another title racing enthusiasts love.
