It's the black sheep of the main Motorstorm trilogy, but it absolutely deserves its place in the spotlight, still. Evolution Studios really tried to push the envelope to create a cinematic racer with tracks that have the environment change, creating or closing off paths. There was also the addition of a more story-centric campaign, which... well, good stories in games are hard enough to do without constraining them with a racing game. It's not all bad, though - the added destruction offered here does create the most frenetic version of Motorstorm ever, which on its own is worth something, The online multiplayer was sophisticated, with perk cards and a TON of unlockable parts (unfortunately the only way to get them, too) for customisation. New vehicle classes also helped people forge their own unique identity on the track. Apocalypse is Motorstorm bouncing off the rev limiter, and while it creates noticeable strain, there's still a lot of fun to be had here.

Pokémon HeartGold
Pokémon HeartGoldPokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version are paired Generation IV remakes of the Generation II games Pokémon Gold and Silver. Much like how Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen revisited the Generation I story of Kanto, HeartGold and SoulSilver retell the story of Johto, with the player's starting town being New Bark Town. While the games feature several expansions in key areas, the overall plot follows the same direction as the original Gold and Silver. Some aspects exclusive to Crystal are also included. Like how FireRed and LeafGreen could link up with Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald to complete the Pokédex by trading regionally exclusive Pokémon, HeartGold and SoulSilver can link up with Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum to obtain Pokémon unavailable in Johto and Kanto (such as the Sinnoh starters) and vice versa. Kris, despite being the female counterpart of Crystal's player character, is not included as the female player character, with a new character instead taking her place. Whether she is chosen to be the player character or not, this new character will still appear in the game. The unselected protagonist will take a pseudo-rival role similar to the unselected characters of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. The games were released on September 12, 2009 in Japan, February 4, 2010 in Korea, March 14, 2010 in North America, March 25, 2010 in Australia and March 26, 2010 in Europe (this excludes the Netherlands, Luxembourg and parts of Belgium due to an in-game save error, with the patched copies later released on April 2, 2010).
