Late last year, we showed you a trailer for Disney’s new racer, Split/Second. Originally slated for a Q1 release this year, it has been officially dated for May 18th. Look for a full review here when it does release.

Disney Interactive Studios announced today that Split/Second, the action racing game from Black Rock Studio, will be released in North America on Tuesday, May 18.  The European release date is May 21.  Set within the world of a fictional reality TV show, Split/Second players don’t just try to race to the finish line – they trigger explosive events that alter the track to take out opponents or create short cuts.

Split/Second is rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older. The game will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC.  Winner of the prestigious Game Critics Award as Best Racing Game of E3, Split/Second has a SRP of $59.99 for Xbox 360 and PS3 and $49.99 for Windows PC.

Analysis: Insane Mass Effect 2 Class Guide

The  recommendations in this guide are geared toward the Hardcore/Insanity difficulty.  Since almost all enemies have an extra layer of protection or two (Armor/Barrier/Shield), this takes into account which combinations are most effective at stripping away an enemies defense.  On the lower level difficulties, where you don’t need to worry about extra defensive layers, then feel free investing points into other abilities such as Pull, Throw, Cryo Blast, etc.  When you mainly only need to take into account enemy health, then that’s where classes such as the Adept and Vanguard, shine.

The Secret Armory of General Knoxx Releasing Tomorrow

Get your Level 50 Hunters, Sirens, Berserkers and Soldiers ready for a new challenge, as the newest Downloadable Add-On for Borderlands, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, is about to be released tomorrow! With it, arrives a shiny new level cap, raising the current cap to Level 61 (Sorry, OCD players…), a fresh batch of ultra-rare and powerful weaponry, multiple new vehicles including one all four players can ride in, and new enemies and evil antagonists to eliminate with your acid rocket launchers.

Don’t expect the enemies to be pushovers when you’re a level 61. The AI has been tweaked, meaning, that’s right… even tougher enemies for you to take out. That is, if you can. Pricing will be the same as past content packs, that being 800 MSP, or $10 USD.
