AH: Forza 3 + Top Gear = Pure Win
Now as some of you may know I am a gigantic Top Gear fan. The humor, fast cars and the adventures the hosts get into are just some of the greatest things ever on TV. Seriously if you live in a place you cannot see this show easily then find a way to see it. Pure brillance.
Now I am not making this news post to talk about how amazing great Top Gear is but earlier today Top Gear and Turn 10 (makers of the Forza series) have announced a long-term partnership that starts with the release of the Forza 3 Ultimate Collection. This immense collection will have the following badassery included:
The Stig on the cover (guaranteed to get you the lady types)
ALL of the DLC released up to this point which includes:Motorsports Legends Pack
And exclusive to this set:
October Track Pack (Benchmark and Sidewinder tracks)
Hot Holidays Pack
Autoweek Car Show Pack
Nrburgring Grand Prix Circuit Track pack
Jalopnik Car Pack
Road & Track Car Pack
Exotic Car Pack
Summer Velocity Pack
World Class Car Pack
The following exclusive cars: Lancia 037 Stradale, Jaguar D-Type, Plymouth Cuda, Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro, Audi TT,S Coupe, Audi R15 TDI, Porsche 550A Spyder, Lexus LFA, Koenigsegg CCX, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
Exclusive Top Gear video feature — Produced exclusively for Forza Motorsport 3 Ultimate Collection owners, this free downloadable 90-minute feature will be a compilation of Top Gear segments showcasing the variety and insight that has become the series hallmark.
Xbox LIVE Top Gear Premium Theme — Put the Stig on your dashboard; this free exclusive Top Gear dashboard theme will only be available for Forza Motorsport 3 Ultimate Collection owners.
Now I know the questions you must all be asking, “Fragger what will this cost?”; “Fragger will this DLC be released for those of us that have Forza 3 already”, “Fragger why did you eat all the pie?” I don’t have answers for these questions right now but when I do find out I will make SURE you all know. (Rumor on date is 10/29 for release date currently)

Slipping through the cracks
Wow. RC Master posted a film showing off a snippet from a SLASO run on Nightfall that lasted just 4:15. (The WHOLE RUN lasted that long, not his video.) That’s… absurd. (My Legendary run of that level – with just cosmetic skulls on – took 83 minutes.) Go see how to speedrun this puppy.(Louis Wu 21:24:31 UTC)

Defensive Perimeter Online.
Over at Bungie.net, CanuckErrant has compiled a transcript of some radio broadcasts that can be found scattered throughout Multiplayer levels – they tell a story of a Spartan Red Team. What a fantastic touch, Bungie! Thanks, sharpsniper99. Update: wow, looks like urk might have hinted about this back in May…(Louis Wu 20:08:49 UTC)

Hollywood Halo: HMV Hell: Reach Trailer
Longtime Halo fans will remember Hollywood Halo – a machinima clan from the Halo 2 days. They’re back, and HMV Hell: Reach has a trailer up now. Thanks, Joe Duplessie. Update: imSuck dropped us a line to explain that this entire film will be made using Bungie Pro, rendering the needed clips as 720p downloadable files. He wanted everyone to understand that making machinima no longer requires a $250 HD capture card – you can do it entirely with Bungie’s services. Nice!(Louis Wu 16:44:35 UTC)

AH: Fable III – Voice Talent
I may be slightly biased in my opinion, okay completely biased, but I think the voices behind Fable III is one of the most interesting voice cast for a video game ever. John Cleese, Stephen Fry, Jonathan Ross, Simon Pegg and more!
If you don’t know who these people are, I ruddy well suggest you watch the video and get your daily dash of British spiffyness!

AH: Can't keep a good Zombie down!
Hey guys, just dropping off a couple more achievement guides in Dead Rising 2. Have you been using the Interactive Dead Rising 2 Item Map? I know I have. I’ve actually been adding stuff to it all day. There are now about a third of the poster videos finished, and I’ve been adding in the magazine locations, because those bastards are important.
Enough about that, on to the videos. The first up is a sweet little video where we give a big stuffed teddy bear to a little girl. Bawwwww!
Up next is the solitary secret achievement in Dead Rising 2, “Tape it or DIE!” It’s not too difficult, I promise. Enjoy!
