Split/Second: Velocity: exclusive trailer

Check out the exclusive trailer of upcoming racing game Split/Second: Velocity. Will it replace Sonic & Sega All-Stars as my racing game of 2010? Set within the world of a hyper-competitive reality television show in a made-for-TV city rigged for destruction, Split/Second: Velocity is an intense action racing game in which competitors can trigger events that take out opponents or completely change the track – a bit like a grown-up version of Mario Kart then. The game is due for release on 21 May for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. It has been created by Brighton-based developer Black Rock Studios – the team behind 2008's critically acclaimed Pure. Split/Second: Velocity was selected as best racing game in the game critics awards at the E3 last year. Black Rock said it approached the game as if it was a blockbuster movie rather than a game, with influences from titles such as Terminator 2, The Empire Strikes Back and Bad Boys 2.
