Split/Second gets dated, also a new name photo

Disney has revealed that Split/Second has a release date, at least in the United Kingdom. The game is due for launch on May 21. You can expect the US release to be a couple days before that. Or a couple days after, depending on how saucy Disney's feeling. 

The real news, however, is that Split/Second has a new addition to its name. The game will henceforth be known as Split/Second: Velocity. The world "velocity" rhymes with "originality." There is an irony in that. Quite the irony indeed. 

Anyway, if you're into racing games, that is some information for you to think about for a few seconds.

I am hoping this game will do well for the developer. Pure was one of the best arcade racers in years and was sadly overlooked when it was released. As many reviewers have said, it's like SSX with mud. Who can ask for anything more? Good luck Blackrock Studio! I'll reserve Split/Second soon.

I loved this game at PAX! I thought it was sad that their booth was always kinda empty.

If it's half as fun as Pure, it's still a Must-Buy.

I also tried this out at PAX east, and I'm hoping they have more (different) playable content at PAX East next month. I'm actually super pumped for this game, it was tons of fun to play the DEMO over and over.

Hopefully the game delivers more awesome.

This is the first racing game that I'll be purchasing for 2010, and probably the last for 2010 unless Twisted Metal comes out for 360 or something.
