From our front-page news: Late last month, we posted about the desired takeover of Take-Two by EA, and since then, it hasn't left the news. At all. I refused to post more about it since it's rather boring, but now it's beginning to get more interesting. EA is getting impatient and we are...

Hmm, so all I have to really say about this is "hell yes!", because MotorStorm was a great racing game. Difficult as hell in some parts, but it was a really well-done off-road game with a kick-ass soundtrack. The new one looks even better, since it takes place on some tropical island. It's...
