Boomtown X

Last week was a good one for Electronic Arts. Crysis 2 remains at the top of the all formats chart with new entries Shift 2: Unleashed and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 entering the chart in fourth and sixth place respectively.

A great week for 505 Games too with Zumba Fitness sliding straight into second position. The week was less good for SCEE/Evolution Studios though as Motorstorm Apocalypse could only muster a chart entry of 17th, understandable though given the delay and interrupted marketing push.

The tragic events in Japan delayed this game a little. So has been the wait been worth it for Evolution Studios' dramatic urban racer?

The release of Evolution Studios' latest offroad racer was delayed following the recent Japanese Earthquake/Tsunami. However Sony says that the game has now been rescheduled for a UK release on Friday April 1st.

We received review code from Sony before the postponed release date but held off on posting a review for the same reasons the publisher pulled the game. As the game is going to get a release next week we'll make sure we have our review online before the game hits stores.

Sony UK has decided to postpone this week's release of Motorstorm Apocalypse in light of the tragic events in Japan.

Evolution Studios' racer sees players race through a city being destroyed by an earthquake.

Statements from Sony Europe and Sony UK after the break.
