ModNation Racers Trailer

One of the games that really stood out to me during the Sony Press Conference at E3 was ModNation Racers. I have always been a huge fan of Mario Kart and other chaotic type racers. With the ability to create and share your tracks I believe the PlayStation 3 Community will latch onto this game. It is scheduled for release Spring 2010.

Official Description:

Get behind the wheel of PlayStation's latest Creative Gaming title. ModNation™ Racers is exclusive to the PlayStation 3 and is a thoroughly fresh take on classic kart racing that empowers the player to personalize their entire game. Enjoy endless karting fun, where you can shoot, boost & drift your way to the finish line.

Create your unique racing experience with the same tools used by the development team. Express yourself by creating your own Mod character, quirky kart and imaginative track, and share your unique racing experience with the rest of the world.

Battlefield 1943: Coral Sea Map Should Unlock Today

Ever since the release last week of Battlefield 1943 I have been hooked. Tonight I completed my 100th match and received the Tour of Duty II Achievement on Xbox Live. Finally I have received all 200 gamerscore points. To make a long story short I have done all that I can (Air Raids FTW) to help unlock the Coral Sea Map on the Xbox 360. At the current rate the Xbox 360 is racking up kills, the Coral Sea should unlock today as some have predicted. Talk about getting 43 million kills in a hurry.

At the time of publishing this article, the Xbox 360 is sitting at over 38 million kills, while the PlayStation 3 has over 20 million kills. So the Xbox 360 should get Coral Sea today with the PlayStation receiving the new map probably around Saturday. Pick up the pace PS3. ;)

It should be exciting to play on a new map finally, especially 12 vs 12 air combat. Looking forward to seeing you on battlefield. Below you can read the full description of the Coral Sea Challenge and watch the trailer.

UPDATE: CORAL SEA IS NOW LIVE ON XBOX 360

Official Description:

Here are the details for the battle plan: the goal to accumulate 43 million kills will begin for Battlefield 1943. The more time you spend putting lead in the bodies of your sworn enemies, the quicker everyone will be able to play Coral Sea. To keep track of the progress keep visiting the website to view the real time kill counter per platform of how you and your fellow soldiers are progressing towards the goal of 43 Million.

Coral Sea is the ultimate online multiplayer dog fighting map ever released! With two aircraft carriers supplying your team with all the F4U and Zero fighters you’ll need as your conquest to control the skies and make your place in history as an Ace Pilot of Battlefield 1943. Use the volcanic island terrain to your advantage and flank your enemies or weave in and out of the low arches to avoid enemy fire. Stay with your wingman, practice the Thach Weave, and soon you’ll dominate the skies of the Pacific! The choice is yours once you’ve helped achieve the 43,000,000 kills.
