You may remember that a few weeks ago we posted up a new teaser trailer for an action-paced Burnout-style racing game from developer Black Rock Studios (they made the solid off-road racing game Pure for Disney Interactive last fall). While details of the game are supposed to be revealed on March 11 we now at least know of the game's title.

GameTrailersTV will have the world premiere full trailer of the game on the Spike TV network at 1 am ET tonight. A promo for the show on the GameTrailersTV site has now revealed the title of the game: Split Second. The game looks like it's slated for a PC release (there's a PC logo in the GameTrailersTV promo) and the promo itself even compares Split Second to Burnout. Should be interesting.

Welcome to Freeware Friday, a weekly column showcasing excellent games that you can play free of charge!

Once every few years there comes a game that knocks you right off your feet. In 1997, Total Annihilation did just that. Featuring massive battles, realistic physics, and a wide variety of tactics and units to utilize, it became an instant classic in the real-time strategy genre. Scoring well with critics and consumers alike, it managed to spawn both a fan remake of the engine, Spring, and a spiritual sequel, Supreme Commander. Utilizing the Spring engine, Wolfe Games has decided to follow this route with the excellent freeware RTS P.U.R.E.

Pure is an ATV racing game that specializes in high-flying stunts and tricks.

"Pure takes quad racing to a new level, featuring massive jumps and spectacular airborne tricks in memorable, photo-realistic settings all over the globe. Featuring never-before-seen, vertigo-inducing massive aerial jumps in real-world quad locations, Pure delivers heart-pounding off-road racing unique to the genre."

As we mentioned last week, Disney Interactive is making a concerted effort to attract hard core gamers. But shaking the 80 year old image of cartoon mice, ducks, and dogs is a very difficult task. Just ask Black Rock Studios, the development company behind the upcoming off-road ATV game, Pure.

Tony Beckwith, General Manager for Black Rock, concedes that their greatest hurdle has been erasing the stereotypes and preconceived notions associated with the kid-friendly Disney brand. Pure is an adrenaline charged, vertigo-inducing off road racing spectacle with photo-realistic real-world locations. There isn't a single talking animal cartoon to be found.

Beckwith told GamesIndustry.biz that yes, Disney was the force behind High School Musical and Hannah Montana, but Pure will push the Disney brand further. This could occur because of the unexpected benefits of working with the mighty Disney. Black Rock's development team has spent time with many of Disney's sister divisions, including the famed Imagineers (they're the guys and gals who design and build all of the theme park rides). When asked about the importance of the Imagineers' input Beckwith compared their one minute theme park rides with the one minute exhilaration of their racing game. Based on the stunning images... Pure looks like it will be a pure joy to play.
