Sharing: It’s Win/Win

1. Motorstorm 3 Is Looking Crazy

2. Metal Gear: Rising 360 Timed Exclusive?

3. Bioshock 2 Review – 9.5 out of 10 Great Fun Game

4. Naughty Dog Guest Stars On The HipHopGamerShow

Ironstar: "According to a user’s post on Neogaf.com someone has apparently obtained a playable demo of Motorstorm 3."

Martin Gaston of TheGameReviews gives his verdict on the rumors of Xmas releases for Killzone 3 and Motorstorm 3, whether or not we’ll see a new Tomb Raider game by then, and if the follow-ups to Nintendo’s DS and Sony’s PSP will be unveiled at this year’s E3 conference.

Joystiq writes:

After completing 2009 with redesigned hardware and several high-profile games (including Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines, MotorStorm: Arctic Edge and LittleBigPlanet), the PSP platform is looking for another strong lineup to carry it until the end of another year. Sony’s senior vice president of publisher relations, Rob Dyer, told Industry Gamers that third parties will provide a "very robust lineup" in 2010 — albeit one that has to face a very old problem.

"I think we had a great lineup last year. The biggest problem that plagued PSP was piracy; we have not been able to slow that down," Dyer said. "We think we have some answers going forward, but we’re not ready to talk about that publicly at this point. So we’re working on fixing that, because that’s been a big problem. Publishers, when they put out good games, are not getting the same sales results that they got a few years back. So piracy’s been a big issue and we’re working on that very diligently to bring about some solutions."

Irish Gaming Site TheGamingLiberty.com write;

"It appears that the domain Motorstorm3.com is registered to Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. Curiously www.motorstorm3.com takes you directly to Sony’s Official Playstation Website. So with that I ran a quick Who Is search and sure enough, www.motorstorm3.com was created by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe on the 19th of January 2010 with an expiry date listed for the 19th of January 2010. It looks like Motorstorm 3 could therefore be on the way to Playstation 3."

UGO writes: "Motorstorm in your pocket. Sounds cool, right? Well, it almost is.

I’m a huge fan of the console versions of MotorStorm and was intrigued earlier this year when Sony announced a PSP release for the series. Could BigBig Studios bring the gorgeously chaotic MotorStorm experience to the small screen? Yes and no."

TPG writes: "Motorstorm: Arctic Edge is simply fantastic. It’s an extremely intense arcade racer, it has amazing presentation, online play, and it does justice to the PSP. Here is a game that is an example of how PSP games should be approached: with the handheld in mind. It takes into consideration the PSP’s features (custom soundtracks, photo mode, online play) and puts the hardware to good use. If you are looking for an awesome arcade racer to play on the road, look no further than Motorstorm: Arctic Edge."

Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. has announced that MotorStorm Arctic Edge, available exclusively for the PlayStation 2, is now available at retailers. Developed by bigBIG Studios, the acclaimed development team renowned for its best-selling Pursuit Force series, MotorStorm Arctic Edge introduces players to the most extreme racing environment they’ve yet faced.

This is MotorStorm, in its entirety, in a wholly new setting but without losing anything that made the series so damn fun on the PS3. Without a doubt, this is one of the best racing games you can find on the PSP. Go buy it.
