It was only a few months ago that Ferrari officially unveiled the successor to the F430 in the much rumored Ferrari 458 Italia. With Forza 3 just over a month away, we can certainly understand how developer Turn 10 couldn't find extra time to fully develop the brand new car for its game. Even though the game went gold recently, the developer got right back to work, announcing recently that the mid-engine V8 monster will arrive as DLC this holiday. There's even a sweet video of the car in action that you can see above (and compare it with the real thing found after the break).We pressed Microsoft for a price and only heard back, "We're not announcing any other details about the Ferrari vehicle at this time, other than to celebrate its inclusion in the game since it's a sick car." Maybe Microsoft will gift us all free Ferraris for the hoidays!

Turn a boring chore into a house party.

My what a fancy name for a device. Sounds like something I would use in my Physics or Chem lab, but no - it is a charger for your Wiimotes! The ElectroFlow Induction Charger, unlike many other Wii controller chargers out there, is designed so you can use it no matter what you have attached [...]

Pests need to be taken care of, why not have fun doing it?

Haven't you ever wanted to destroy your kitchen?

The Wii remote transforms into a fishing rod once again.

Remember Harrison Krix, that talented mofo that made the Portal gun and that crazy awesome Big Daddy costume? Well, Krix has done it again, this time recreating the early-level staple of Fallout 3, the Laser Rifle. He's provided his usual ridiculously long step-by-step process on the creation of the almost-a-firearm, so give it a gander if you're so inclined. Now if only he'd make some replica Mirelurks for us to pretend-shoot at ...[Via BethBlog Twitter]

RedLynx has announced (via Eurogamer) that Trials HD has sold in excess of 300,000 copies on Xbox Live Arcade. While that would be an impressive number for any XBLA game, the achievement is made even more so given that the game has only been on sale for a month. Previously, Microsoft touted the game as breaking the record for first-week sales of a single-player game. The feat was later squashed by Shadow Complex, but Trials HD remains one of the top five best-selling XBLA games. We can only assume that the next record attempt will be for the most (and most frustrating) single-player DLC downloads.

One of these years, I will get out to TGS. If Nintendo had a stronger presence at the show, it would make all the more reason for me to go. As it is now, with no first party showings, it doesn’t make much sense to attend. As much as I know that [...]

We don't do a lot of critiquing of controllers, we know, but as stacks of them continue to pile up at HQ, it occurred to us that you might be as daunted in the store aisle as we are staring at this pile of plastic. So, in the spirit of making you a more informed consumer, here's a look at the Rocketfish Rapid Fire PS3 controller. If you're interested in more snappy peripheral analysis from the experts at Joystiq, let us know in the comments section below.

It's been on store shelves for less than two days and Halo 3: ODST has logged nearly a million players in the last 24 hours. More specifically, according to Bungie.net, the game had logged 936,278 players when this post was written. All of those troopers have managed to put away 5,653,310 games. That's roughly six games per person in a 24-hour period. On a weekday. We don't want to jump the gun here, but Bungie just might have a success on its hands.

I just read about this now, and I need to get a copy! You can check out the details below, but I’ll give you a very quick rundown. What if the Mushroom Kingdom was real, and existed thousands of years ago, only to be discovered and examined by people today? What if there was [...]

Check out more screens in our Flickr set While no official release date has been announced, we have been told that the release date is ‘fast approaching’…so take that for what it’s worth! Dragon Quest Wars is a Nintendo DSiWare™ grid-based strategy game featuring every DQ fan’s favorite, quirky Dragon Quest monsters. Players will be able [...]

Merged game companies rarely fuse their franchises together, but when the two partnered entities' action-genre focus overlaps as much as Koei and Tecmo's do, inter-brand cameos come naturally. That's why we weren't shocked to hear that Ninja Gaiden's Ryu Hayabusa and Warriors Orochi's Nu Wa would make appearances in the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, respectively, of Dynasty Warriors Multi Raid. In addition, Multi Raiid's Sun Shang Xiang and Zhao Yun will appear as costumes in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. At this rate, we expect the many, many ninjas from Koei and Tecmo's respective properties will soon be thrown into a "ninja pool," which players of any their titles will be able to choose from. For the record, we're strong advocates for this ninja unionization. Fairer wages for our shiruken-slinging brethren!

The big hunt is coming to the Western markets of the world!
