He's Speed Racer and he drives real fast
Drives real fast -- he's gonna last. New screens of the Speed Racer movie tie-in game (which looks more like F-Zero Wipeout than anything else), revealing pretty much the same kind of roller-coaster-like tracks we've seen in the Wii version. We aren't sure what's going to happen on (the rest of) the touch screen -- will there be a steering controller, Ridge Racer/Indianapolis 500 Legends style? Warner Bros. Interactive is hiding that particular detail carefully, going so far as to release screenshots like the one seen here with part of the bottom screen visible.The screenshots also reveal that "car-fu" is really the name the producers have given to the racing action, in this case seemingly some kind of car-to-car combat. We thought -- and hoped -- that it was just an informal term for some kind of especially acrobatic racing.
GripShift shifts into Turbo Expansion
Earlier today, Sidhe Interactive released new downloadable content for their XBLA gem GripShift which features one of our all-time favorite pastimes, penguin bowling!The GripShift Turbo Expansion Pack adds an additional 18 music tracks, 8 deathmatch arenas, 8 race tracks, a new reverse tag multiplayer mode and some new funky fun mini games including the earlier mentioned penguin bowling. Though, the Turbo Expansion Pack will set you back 350 Microsoft points, but how can one put a price on running penguins over in a game of bowling? Right? New GripShift DLC screenshots posted in the gallery below.%Gallery-15976%[Via TeamXbox]

The arcade puzzle racer GripShift has seen its share of releases on various Sony platforms (the PSP in 2005 and on PS3's PSN earlier this year), but now Sidhe Interactive has confirmed that GripShift will headed to the XBLA in December. And, according to Sidhe, GripShift on the XBLA will be considered the "definitive version" featuring updated graphics, 120 levels, achievements, leaderboards and up to four player versus. W00t, w00t! So, be on the lookout for this puzzle racer to release sometime next month and you might as well give the embedded teaser trailer a looksy too.
New details and screens for Jackass: The Game
All Jackass haters may scoff at the notion that the Jackass game could even be mildly fun, but with new details emerging about Jackass: The Game, we're getting a little excited. The entire Jackass crew will represent themselves on the PSP, complete with authentic voicework and motion-captured animations. Of the 30 included stunts, the screenshots here show that a trolley race and Whack-a-Weeman are sure to make the list. Multiplayer appears to be faring quite well, with the inclusion of head-to-head, as well as downloadable episodes and user-created content. That's right, user-created content, as in the ability to record, edit and upload your most vicious snippets of carnage for the world to see. We dare say, this feature list may be enough to bump Jackass: The Game from our "rent" list to "buy." We shall see.%Gallery-3864%
