2nd Place Is the First Loser

I don’t think I mentioned it here, but I went out and bought me a spankin’ new Playstation 3 game system in anticipation of the next installment of my all-time favorite game: Grand Theft Auto. And it was only the next day, that Take-Two Interactive (the game’s distributor) announced that they would delay the release of GTA IV until next spring. Ouch. What a blow!

To overcome the depression of owning a $500 game system with no game, I decided to go and buy the most popular title available for the PS3. That title is Motorstorm, the off-road racing game. At first, I thought I might tire of this game because when I played the demo it felt like I had mastered the track pretty quickly. But it turns out the track had a couple routes that I did not see at first, and I had only mastered one of them. Plus, there are many, many tracks.

All-in-all, this game is a whole lot of fun. There’s wide selection of vehicles from motor bikes up to big rigs, and the graphics are amazing! The physics and game play are super realistic. For instance, when you tread on fresh mud you will see those same tire tracks on the next lap. In fact, they claim that no two laps are ever the same because as you knock down signs, rocks and other objects, these environment changes persist the entire race. On top of all that, the nitro-bursting, crashes and explosions make this game completely insane. If you like driving/racing games even a little bit, I would totally recommend it.

Bonus: Here’s a song from the soundtrack! (warning: hella loud .mp3) Enjoy!
