MotorStorm was launched alongside the launch of the PS3 in all three territories, and follows the game’s success in Japan and the United States where it also topped the PS3 Chart on its release.

“To see MotorStorm top the European, the Japanese and the US PlayStation 3 charts is just fantastic,” says Martin Kenwright, CEO Evolution Studios.

“Developing MotorStorm to a standard we were all happy with was certainly a challenge – but the team here really delivered. Evolution has a reputation for delivering high quality racing titles, but the consensus was to come up with something really special for Sony’s new hardware. We’re delighted that the public has agreed with the press and made MotorStorm a worldwide number one PLAYSTATION 3 title.”

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has announced the upcoming release of WipEout Pulse for PSP (PlayStation Portable) this September. Developed by SCEE’s award-winning Studio Liverpool, WipEout Pulse brings the iconic anti-gravity combat racing title back to PSP after a two-year wait. Pulse arrives with a full tank of innovation, bringing stylish new tracks, futuristic ships, high-tech weapons and an impressive 7 game modes to the high-octane speed, adrenaline-drenched, anti-gravity 800 kilometres per hour action you’ve come to expect from the series.

Built to better even its critically-acclaimed predecessor, WipEout Pulse is set to become an instant classic and a must-have for PSP owners – not least because of its stunning visuals and overall enhanced game package but also its immediate accessibility: a new Training section introduces the player to how the game plays, from ship handling through to weapons allowing it to be accessible to all racing fans looking for an alternative to traditional on-wheel racers.

Mario Strikers: Charged Football is different from the average football game and is even more exciting and engaging than ever before, with a strong emphasis on each team’s captain. These star players each have unique abilities and enhanced skills, which allow them to really influence the outcome of a game. The team captains all feature a Super Ability which can be used to devastate their opponents, ranging from Mario growing to giant proportions and trampling other players, to Peach taking a photo and freezing the entire opposing team on the spot. Tactical use of these super abilities can break down even the most stubborn defence. To top this off, in Mario Strikers: Charged Football players can choose 3 side-kicks (from a total of 8) who each have their own unique features which allows for tactical team customisation.

The game kicks off across Europe on Wii on May 25th, 2007.

The original Virtua Tennis for the Dreamcast was the quintessential example of a game that was easy to grasp, but truly difficult to master. With the recent release of Virtua Fighter 5, Sega has shown that it can still create an amazing title, and Virtua Tennis 3 makes for another fine example. With Virtua Tennis 3, we're offered a new iteration of the series complete with a healthy career mode, a nice variety of mini-games, solid visuals and the core gameplay that we've come to know and love. Check out our complete review over at GameSpy!
