For this new chapter in our GSY Retro series, we decided to focus on a studio rather than a game. Black Rock Studio, formerly known as Climax (Moto GP on the first Xbox), managed to develop two new franchises whose Metacritic score reached more than 80. Sadly, it didn't prevent them from being shut down by Disney Interactive in 2011, a year after their second game was released. As you may have already guessed, the two titles we're talking about are Pure and Split/Second, two games that were undeniably good and that would have deserved next gen sequels. Take a look at our videos of the two PC ports (and realize that we have come a long way since then in terms of PC adaptations).

Disney Interactive's Pure will be released in Europe this week on PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, and here are the First 10 Minutes from the game; as usual in video form. The game has given me some of the most fun play sessions this console generation (both in singleplayer and multiplayer) and there's no reason for racing fans to miss out on this fantastic game.

Disney Interactive Studios have put together a demo for Pure, which just hit the Marketplace and will go online on PSN soon. What a demo! I've never thought four-wheeling could be so fun, but this is some good stuff. Great graphics, great sound, awesome gameplay. You'll see notifications on the screen, "B lost" etc - you do tricks, and then fill the meter in the right corner. The more it's filled, the more advance tricks you can do. We captured gameplay videos for those unable to download the demo, enjoy.

Pure really impressed us at the Games Convention with its over the top gameplay and a very impressive engine, and this tricks featurette certainly doesn't prove us wrong. Arcade fans, keep an eye open for this game!

As promised here is the second video of Pure, again played by the game's designer for an even classier experience!

Pure is of course at the Game Convention, and we'll have two videos of the game played by Chris Bowles, designer of the game. First video is up already.

Let's continue with the remaining videos from E3 ! It's now the turn of Pure to have its own gameplay video, about three minutes long and showcasing two different maps. Clearly, the game seems right on track to deliver the awesome. So far so good !

Disney and Black Rock release some new images of Pure, their beautiful acrobatic offroad simulation. It looks really fine, and the studio has a good track record. The game is planned to be released on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 later this year.

Disney Interactive Studios released this batch of images of Pure, lookin good so far. Some of the images have been around on the net for a while, but we've yet to get them until now.

BlackRock Studio sends this awesome (HD) trailer of Pure, its really impressive ATV videogame. It will be possible to build your own machine from scratch, choosing pieces like the engine, the tires or various other parts that will affect performance while in races.
