Ps3 releases for the week of March 5 - Image 1


PS3 owners have a choice between a fighting game, a racing game, and a sports game this week. For the first genre, we have Def Jam: Icon, a rollicking madcap journey through the happy lands of... Well, no, actually it's a style and rhythm-infused no-holds-barred street fight featuring some of the biggest names in hip-hop. Def Jam: Icon is a game where players have to claw their way to music moguldom, going from rags to riches and leaving broken bodies on the way. Word.

Next up is the racing game. Those who feel the need for speed should definitely check out MotorStorm, and if you haven't heard what the game is yet then clearly you haven't been paying attention. This game's got some nasty
visceral off-road racing, plunging players into a frenzied environment covered in grit, mud and petrol. No limits, no restrictions, no rules. Just try and get to the finish line before anybody else. If you reach it alive, that's a bonus.

Finally we come to the venerable sports game genre. The entry for the PS3 this week is NBA Street: Homecourt, the
next-gen entry in Electronic Arts' arcade-style street ball game. NBA Street: Homecourt still allows you to throw down and go to town on others like any other game in the franchise, but its focus is all about basketball giving hope to the streets that the sport is known in. Mostly, though, it's all about giving your opponent a schooling in the fine art of videogame basketball.

All of the aforementioned titles will be hitting PS3s on March 6.

 » Motostorm = not very next gen

How on earth can anyone call Motorstorm a next gen game with so FEW tracks and so much disc space left ?, seems like a step backwards to me.

This is pretty easy to explain. It's a launch title with not enough time to make more tracks and content. It has nothing to do with disc space. What we got as a japanese version should make you see that. Saying that it's not next-gen is utter bollshait.Rainbow Six:Vegas and Gears of War are both over in a heartbeat, but both are still great games. All you need to do is grab a controller and spend a few hours playing MotorStorm. I know you won't be disappointed. Even though there are a few tracks, it still is incredible fun game to play and all of the tracks are thought out well. Seeing this game in action and completing the single player, it makes you wonder how extremely good the sequel will also be. Also it's pretty probable that they will release downloadable content in the future. Don't get all negative on this excellent title, it's becoming one of those reasons to buy a PS3.

 » motorstorm is incredible

you idiot. it's the best racing game released since GT3.. What the hell is wrong with you xbox fanboys? You'll never get a game with physics like this, and you don't have the room on a simple DVD for the amazing scenery this game offers.
