It's always nice when video games learn from the success of their competitors, adding new features or tweaking old ones to better keep up with the leading edge. It's unfortunate, though, when those changes are lifted whole cloth instead of smoothly int...

Dave Racing games and I rarely see eye to eye – I would happily forgo the engine-tinkering nuances of Gran Turismo for a nice spot of Wipeout , and even then, I tend to tire very quickly of even the most unusual track-based gaming. I have recently re...

You see, I’m generally not even a fan of racing games. They just don’t click with me. People always told me I would love Forza Motorsport 3; I didn’t. While I thought it was a good game, it was just kind of boring. In fact, I feel this way about basi...

Exciting, chaotic races; looks amazing in 3D.

After driving through the city multiple times - and getting explosively intimate with its architecture - we can confidently say that the real stars of MotorStorm 3: Apocalypse are the dangerous, crazy environments that you race through. Gameplay-wise...

Solid racing model; new, urban environments are a nice change of pace for the series; some interesting twists on the MotorStorm formula.
Vanilla gameplay doesn't excite; dated graphics; little in the way of compelling storyline or anything to hang your singleplayer hat on; excessive rubberbanding in multiplayer.
