Start your engines and get ready for the ride of your life because MUD: FIM Motocross World Championship roars onto South African store shelves today! Those of you who have already played the demo on Xbox LIVE or PSN will know that this game offers an authentic Motocross experience that features all the real-world championships, tracks, riders and bikes you’d expect from a racing title developed by industry veterans Milestone.
Launching tomorrow in South Africa on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, MUD: FIM Motocross World Championship is the first pure off-road and trick-based Motocross title to arrive on the scene in quite some time - an achievement in itself!
Created by Italian racing game experts, Milestone, and published by Black Bean, MUD is also the only game that includes three of the official real-world Motocross competitions, namely the MX1 and MX2 championships, as well as the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations.
This is just the beginning.
Veteran Italian developer Milestone and publisher Black Bean Games recently announced an October release for WRC 3, the third entry in the pair’s series of officially licensed FIA World Rally Championship games.
Video games often allow us to pull off death-defying stunts that we could never attempt in real life, even if we possessed the courage to undertake them. Thankfully there are games like the upcoming MUD FIM Motocross World Championship which feature similarly insane feats that are regularly performed by a few talented daredevils from various corners of the globe.
(In order to get the full effect of the following review you need to read it real fast. As if you are in a rally car, going over hills, cutting corners, drifting on dirt and avoiding spectators. So, with that in mind, let’s go:)
As you read this Sebastian Loeb has probably won his eighth consecutive WRC championship. As in the real rally world, WRC: FIA World Rally Championship 2 is about to win its second title as ‘best dedicated rally game.’ I say dedicated as there are many other dirt racers out there that are probably better at various disciplines, including rallying. But none of them are dedicated to old school WRC rallying.

Black Bean Games has released a new patch for the PC version of WRC 2, which arrives on shelves today.
Black Bean Games and Milestone recently confirmed that the official game of the 2011 FIA World Rally Championship, WRC 2, will see a release in October this year across Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC platforms, and to celebrate, the publisher and developer have together released a teaser trailer for the game.
I’m new to the SBK series and superbike games in general, so all judgements given in this review are based on what characteristics I consider a good racing title to require. In this regard, SBK 2011 is a deep and engrossing racing simulation with plenty of options to tweak to create an experience specifically tailored towards your tastes.
There’s also a wealth of content here which should keep you entertained for months if you have a keen interest in motorsport, and if you follow the superbike circuit your love affair with this game will be that much deeper.

Black Bean Games and developer Milestone have announced that a demo for their upcoming racer Superstars V8: The Next Challenge, will be available to Xbox 360 gamers early next month.
The Xbox 360 demo will land on Xbox Live Marketplace on the 2nd of February for Gold members while Silver members will have to wait until the 9th of February. There’s no word on a PS3 demo for the game yet.
Black Bean Games have revealed the 2010 edition of SBK is already in the works. SBK X will be available for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC in Quarter 2 of 2010.
According to the publisher, SBK X will be a real breakthrough as well as the “landmark, the crossroad and the turning point.”
Earlier in the year Black Beans Games announced NewU Fitness Personal Trainer, a new comprehensive wellness programme that would be available for the Wii this September.
Today the publisher announced that Ubisoft will publish and distribute the title across all PAL territories, excluding Italy, New Zealand and Australia.
NewU Fitness First Personal Trainer is currently in development by Lightning Fish in collaboration with the brands Fitness First and You Are What You Eat. The game is described as an “an interactive training solution focused on well-being as a perfect balance between professionally developed and expertly taught fitness workouts and healthy balanced nutrition plans based on personal eating preferences.”
The past couple of years have seen publishers launching more and more games designed to get you off the couch, sparked by the launch of the Wii in 2006. Wii Fit was the epitome of this new thinking in the gaming industry, one of the first titles to combine exercise and games, but since then other titles including My Fitness Coach, Family Trainer Outdoor Challenge and EA Sports Active have been added to the list.
The latest game to join this revolution is NewU Fitness First Personal Trainer from Black Bean Games. Developed by Lightning Fish Games in partnership with the brands Fitness First and You Are What You Eat, the first game in the NewU franchise will be available on the Wii in September.
