Happy Monday, everyone. Time for another episode of Timed Trials. This time we take a look a little gem that I'm a lot of people passed up. It's Disney's Cars 2 the video game! Seriously, this is a solid casual racer with a lot of polish.
Here are some of the highlights from our playthrough
Here's the full playthrough
Episode 2 of Timed Trials! This time we look at Phineas and Ferb Across the 2nd Dimension. Jiks is player 1 and Migoy is player 2. I believe the story of this game is based on the Phineas and Ferb movie which has the characters jumping from dimension to dimension.
No commentary on this one because something happened to our audio recording.

So apparently it's the end for Pure and Split/Second developer Black Rock Studio. But not all is lost.
The studio went through a round of layoffs in the month of May that affected around 100 jobs. Only 40 were spared at the time. Some of the former employees have landed on their feet and RoundCube Entertainment was formed in early June, headed by Nick Baynes, the game director for Split/Second.
"Disney Interactive Studios confirms that Black Rock Studios' current project has not been greenlit for further development, consequently the company informed employees yesterday of the intent to enter a consultation process on the proposal to close the studios," wrote Disney in a statement. This news comes months after the studio laid of 40 percent of its work force.
I enjoyed Split/Second and I heard that Pure was a pretty kickass game too, here's to hoping for a sequel to Split/Second!
