Twisted Metal, the latest iteration in Sony’s Twisted Metal series has gone gold and is on track for its February 14th release date according to a post made on Sony’s PlayStation blog. In case you’re not too familiar with this series, Twisted Metal was a vehicular combat game that achieved cult like status on the PlayStation 2. Dave Jaffe, the creator of God of War along with his team at Eat Sleep Play have been working hard on the PlayStation 3 debut of this series since a while now. Gameplay mechanics have largely stayed the same with the addition of better visuals, more vehicles and newer modes.

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.
