We jumped in excitement when THQ announced that they'll be introducing a new racing game franchise for next-gen consoles. Even if there's little known about Baja for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, we can tell from the screenshots we can tell that it certainly holds a lot of promise.

The screenshots we have for you today are full of dirt, in the literal sense. The cars taking on the off-road course are definitely in a race packed with pure action. The intensity can be sensed with each and every shot. We have a feeling that when the game is finally released, people are going to be treated to one heck of a wild ride.

Do enjoy the screenshots! We'll be providing you guys with more updates and news on this off-road racing game.
