A taste of supercross at James Stewart's house!

Once the race starts, it becomes an eye-for-an-eye system of retaliation and retribution!

THQ's strategy for the MX vs. ATV Alive includes lots of DLC. Knowing that it's part of the game from the outset means THQ can show off downloadable extras even before it launches at $40 this May.

You'll be able to go into a purchase of this game secure in the knowledge that you can buy some new virtual Suzuki motorcycles, including the RM125, RM-Z250, RM-Z450 and QuadRacer R450. For casual MX vs. ATV players (like us), that means "these pretty yellow bikes."

James Stewart describes how he was involved in making the game.

Most authentic, accessible experience in 10 million unit-selling series' history.

THQ's MX vs. ATV Alive was finally made official today, as the publisher announced that the experimental off-road racer will be released this May for $40 on PS3 and Xbox 360. It's experimental, by the way, because this is THQ's long-discussed first "hybrid" game, with a "budget" disc price accompanied by an "unprecedented digital content distribution strategy" -- basically, there will be a bunch of DLC at launch and beyond.

Shake off all those thoughts of business models and content strategies, and then head past the break for a teaser featuring lots of wheels on dirt -- and, apparently, lots of Gatorade spilling out of racers.

Spraying mud all over the traditional price point.

MX vs ATV blazes new trails with Alive, coming May 2011.
