PURE Review: Motorwhat?

Ever wanted to defy death? Minus the whole Final Destination scheme, PURE allows you to do just that. An utterly incredible racing experience, PURE is a concoction by Black Rock Studio, part of Disney Interactive that by far replicates a pure racing experience mixed with death defying vertigo’s. For a calm amusement across the clouds and extreme airborne feats that makes a racing title go past first person titles such as Motorstorm and tumultuous at the same time but in a good way.

Brother’s In Arms: Get Off Of Me Highway

After long anticipation from E3, Brothers in Arms 3 or Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway has finally emerged. Is this title worth the foray into the WW2 scenario? Almost. The screen lights up during the war qualities with flanking techniques but for all the destructible environments, new cover mechanics and advanced AI, Hell’s Highway only goes so far.

Afrika Not Coming to North America - Rhino Studios

We’ve covered Afrika for a while, reviewed it, and done everything we possibly could for it. Last couple of months, we even got confirmation from someone at Leipzig that Afrika doesn’t look like it’s coming to North America. Now this can all be a big act, or it’s just a sad reality over and over again. From an e-mail by Rhino Studios:

私達に連絡するためにありがとう。 SCEはアメリカのこのゲームを解放するために私達が付いている接触をしなかった。 残念。

Basically they’re saying this:

Thank you for contacting us. SCE has not made any contact with us to release this game in America.  Sorry.

There you have it we guess. Another confirmation, but from the developers themselves too.
