MotorStorm, Sony’s very own off-road arcade racer returns this March for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, according to Sony’s official PlayStation blog. Unlike games like Burnout, the MotorStorm series has always been about off-road, cut-throat racing amidst terribly aggressive AI. The last MotorStorm game, MotorStorm Apocalypse allowed players to race through apocalyptic scenarios, exciting and frustrating in equal measure.

This will not be easy

Now, this challenging series is back in an all new remote controlled avatar with MotorStorm: RC. The game supports cross-play between the PlayStation 3 and the Vita which means once you purchase the game, it becomes available on both those platforms. So let’s say you start playing MotorStorm: RC on the PS3 and have to rush out on a long trip, you can continue from where you left off on your PS Vita. The PS3 version is all enhanced by "1080p HD visuals, stereoscopic 3D, SimulView same-screen multiplayer and classic four-player split-screen multiplayer."

MotorStorm: RC releases for the PS3 and PS Vita by the 6th of March 2012.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
