Split/Second zooms to May 2010

Black Rock's destructive racer.

Disney's just given scenery-destroying racer Split/Second a date of May 2010.

Black Rock's impressive futuristic racing game should be fresh in your mind after Eurogamer TV's expose on the game earlier today, of course. If you haven't watched it then you can do so now.

Split/Second's a fast and furious racer from the maker's of Pure, the key gameplay differentiator being Power Plays - charged special moves that quite literally bring the house down, or whichever piece of gigantic scenery you happen to be whizzing past.

There's plenty more about Split/Second on our gamepage below.
