MotorStorm: Pacific Rift Review: A Festival of Mayhem

3:00AM Owen Good | Last year’s MotorStorm gave PlayStation 3 owners a novel concept, a game that added context and surroundings much more compelling than you usually get in pick-up-and-play racers. Half the fun was the exquisitely hallucinated reason for it all, that there could actually be a beyond-extreme rally “festival” held in Utah’s Monument Valley, sort of like Sturgis meets Burning Man with loads more violent collisions and fatal wrecks. And, one assumes, crazy monkey sex in everyone’s tents at night. More »

New MotorStorm Pacific Rift Screens

6:40AM Adam Barenblat | You know, when you think about it MotorStorm was pretty good.

MotorStorm Pacific Rift Speeds Towards October Release

1:40AM Mike Fahey | It’s time to get down and dirty all over again as the Official PlayStation blog reveals the official release date for MotorStorm Pacific Rift, a follow up to what was briefly the best racing game available for the PlayStation 3. The game should be hitting stores on or around October 28th, just in time for the holiday Pacific island racing season. With all new four-player split screen multiplayer, sixteen tracks, real-time terrain deformation and *fanfare* trophy support, it looks to trump its predecessor in every way possible. Also mentioned in the post is a retailer exclusive demo available to folks who pre-order the game from GameStop, a subtle hint that you should go and pre-order the game at GameStop. Glad I could clear that up. MotorStorm Pacific Rift crosses the finish line October 28th [Official PlayStation Blog] More »
