And today my preorder for Flatout: Ultimate Carnage on Steam was finally released and I could download it. I already played it a bit on the 360, but the PC version was dirt cheap.

It’s pretty much exactly the same as the 360 version, with GfW Live support but no PC-exclusive features. The leaderboards look like they’re separate though, so cross-platform multiplayer is pretty unlikely (didn’t get a chance to try tonight).

There’s a minor annoyance with the controller configuration. You can redefine the gamepad controls, but the on-screen prompts still continue to refer to 360 pad buttons. I’m using a 360 pad via XBCD and had remapped some of the controls, and it was a bit disconcerting to go and press the ‘X’ button for something that the screen said to press ‘B’ for, so I wound up changing back to match the standard 360 layout.

And in keeping with the racing theme, I also went and preordered GTR Evolution on Steam. Dammit, I have way too many racing games…
