By the end of the year, we’ll have a Top Gear game that will invade the world of gaming and auto enthusiasts! No one knows how the game will look like, feel like or what kind of action we’re talking about, but we’re all extremely excited only thinking about it! Yes, you can see that from how many exclamation marks I’ve used. :D

This particular trailer shows off the potential of the Citroen WRC race car in the first stage of the Portugal rally in Career Mode.
Although the graphical component is not as good as Gran Turismo, it’s still good fun. And the track looks realistic and very challenging, as all rally fans love dirt and tight curves. I can’t wait to play it!

Just in case you haven’t had your fill of Gran Turismo 5 details, we now get to see the actual car parts which you can buy and use to upgrade your own rides in the upcoming video game.

As you can see, the crazy attention to details of the developers at Polyphony Digital really shines through. The engine above, as well as the shock absorbers or the body parts pictured below, are quite detailed and different from one another.

I guess you can actually see why it took so much time to develop GT5. Look forward to its launch on November 2 in the USA. Hit the jump to see two more photos of Gran Turismo 5’s detailed car parts.

How else to launch the Mafia Wars Las Vegas game if not by calling up Snoop Dog and blowing up a truck in the desert? Zynga is really going on a limb to promote its games and this particular event seems to have been quite successful. The gaming company claims that the live Ustream video of the event was watched by more than 2 million viewers. Watch the video of the event below:

Even Snoop was shook up. :) )

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Limited Edition

Just in case yesterday’s video about the new Autolog Recommends feature from Need For Speed Hot Pursuit got you really excited, then you’ll be more than happy to hear that the upcoming racing game is hosting a little promotion.

You will be able to pre-order the NFS Hot Pursuit Limited Edition at participating outlets, and get access to a variety of sweet things. First off, you will get to race two extremely hot cars, the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione and the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, and also early access to the Audi TT RS Coupe and Chevrolet Camaro SS (in racer form) and the Dodge Challenger SRT8 and Porsche Cayman S (in police form).

The best thing about the Need For Speed Limited Edition? It costs the same as the regular game, meaning $60 if you live in the USA.

Just in case you forgot, NFS HP launches on November 16 and will be available for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and the Nintendo Wii. Check out the exclusive cars in the Limited Edition in a special video after the jump.

Seeing as how we’re fast approaching the November 16 release date of Hot Pursuit, Criterion Games, its developer, has put together a brand new promotional video. It showcases the game’s new Autolog Recommends feature.

The system will help you keep track of your performances, as well as those of your friends. It will also help you pinpoint what challenges you can issue to your friends.

Check out the new Autolog Recommends feature in the video below. If that’s not enough, we should also say that a day and night race featuring a new Porsche 911 GT3 RS, a Pagani Zonda Cinque cop car and many other things are also featured in the footage.

Don’t you? And this year is a good year for immersive car games! We have all kinds of launches coming out this fall and thins are getting hotter by the day. One of yesterday’s perks is that you’ll be able to go karting in Gran Turismo 5! I can already see myself having loads of fun with that! Here’s the proof:

PS: Strange soundtrack, though…

In fact, F1 has never been a car game, because it doesn’t feature normal cars. The feel of a Formula 1 car is entirely different from any supercar and the game experience reflects that. It’s like getting serious about a game, but having the best fun in the world at the same time. And from the looks of this video they’re released, F1 2010 will be a dramatic experience in the best way possible!

When it rains, it’s still hot as hell! Check it out.

Since Facebook, we’ve made a lot of friends, some “friendlier” than others, some more passionate about games, some more eager to share. What we have in common is that we are somewhat heavy users and we know a lot about how to get around Facebook.

The guys over at Rounds thought that we should take these friendships and make them more real and what is more real than video chatting? So they put up a video chatting platform which is aimed mainly at social gamers, who can communicate and better develop their crops, colonies or whatever it is that the cool kids are doing nowadays. Bringing the players closer together is supposed to build a bridge across the online and offline environment and make the activities feel more real.

What is your take on this? Do you think it might end up as Chatroulette?
