Keely Somebody Pitches For Motor Storms Pacific Rift With Dakar Land Rover Nemesis

Ben Wojdyla — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 09:30:00 EST

We don't know who Keeley Hazell is or why we should know, but apparently she's somewhat attractive and pitching for Playstation 3's new off-roading game Motorstorm Pacific Rim. We've played its predecessor Motor Storm before and it's pretty entertaining, but we couldn't tell you for sure if the Bowler Offroading Land Rover Nemesis is featured in the new game as weakly as it is in these pics. Pity too, as the purpose-built desert racer comes with a tube chassis, twin-tex and carbon fiber body, 4.2-liter supercharged V8 and six-speed transmission. Oh well. Guess that's the price you pay for a little Friday cheesecake. Motorstorm Pacific Rift hits stores tomorrow. More »

Gaming With Porsche Branded Peripherals Almost Like Driving Real Thing

Travis Hudson — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:00:00 EDT

If cruising around in your Porsche 911 in the latest installment of the Gran Turismo series lacks a certain realism, you may be ready for the officially branded Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo Racing Wheel gaming peripherals. Consisting of a wheel, shifter and pedals, the driving set is available as wireless controllers for the PlayStation 3. It includes support for force feedback and more. For all this performance, expect to pay a $350 entry fee for the privilege of using official Porsche branded racing peripherals. Unfortunately the setup won't help improve the realism of the whole "parent's basement" gaming environment. [Fanatec via SlipperyBrick] More »

Play With It: Top Seven Examples Of Automaker-Video Game Industry Love-Making In New York

Travis Hudson — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 13:30:00 EDT

There's a trend I'm beginning to notice around the massive halls of auto shows: scattered among the sheet metal, booth babes and PR flacks, there's a hell of a lot of video games — both your standard issue Xbox-PlayStation3 setups as well as the more elaborate simulators. Taking a look at just a few of the many examples that appeared at the New York Auto Show this past week, I think this is more than just a way of giving journalists something to do between press conferences — it's representative of a trend. Here's our carmaker-by-carmaker breakdown of what has to be construed as either a strategy of building "appeal with the youths" — or an attempt by the car companies to distract everyone from their impending new "Second Malaise Era" with flashing lights and loud noises.

Top Gear Track, Episode Downloads Coming to Gran Turismo 5 And PS3

Ray Wert — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 13:15:00 EDT

We've just heard some amazing news about the greatest automotive show on Earth, Top Gear. In fact, it was so amazing that despite it being 2:00 AM here in Tokyo (where we're at this week for the Tokyo Motor Show), it literally made us blink, swear under our breath, get up out of the chair and do a little jig. Here's what we've just learned (Thanks to Top tipster Thaddeus):

Top Gear has hooked up with Sony to make our iconic test track part of Gran Turismo 5. And as an office with the permanent distraction of a Playstation 2, race seat, force-feedback wheel and a copy of the current GT4, it's the best news we've had since Alonso missed out on the F1 championship.

Oh but wait, there's more... More »
