Turn 10 celebrates Forza 3 going gold with this fan-made "Gone Gold Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro"
(Credit: Turn 10)Digital drivers waiting with baited breath for release of Forza Motorsport 3 for Xbox 360 will have to keep waiting for the October 27th release date. But despair not. Turn 10 will be making a Forza 3 demo available for download on Xbox Live on September 24th to get you through this last month of waiting.
The demo features only one fantasy track, a Spanish mountain course inspired by the Montserrat region just outside of Barcelona, and five playable cars with full cockpits and damage modeling with rollover:
- 2007 Porsche #80 Flying Lizard 911 GT3-RSR
- 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro
- 2009 Ferrari California
- 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR
- 2009 Mini John Cooper Works
Am I the only one who finds these little guys a bit creepy?
(Credit: Turn 10)The Forza Motorsports demo also jumpstarts the Forza online leaderboard, so you can get an early start establishing dominance. If you're really overzealous hardcore, you can blow a few MS Points on Avatar accessories to show the world how much you love Forza.

Turn 10, developer of the upcoming Forza Motorsport 3 for Xbox 360, has released a new batch of screenshots highlighting a few of the vehicles we can expect to see when the racing sim is released.
Among the GT cars and LeMans racers, we find more familiar models, such as the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Subaru's WRX STI, the Mazdaspeed3, and the Toyota Yaris S. Wait, Yaris?!
Browse our gallery to see what other vehicles we can expect to pilot around Forza 3's digital raceways when it's released in October. We've driven the real-world counterparts of many of these polygon racers, so be sure to check out our impressions while you're there.
One of the biggest decisions when choosing a video game system has to be the exclusive games. Console manufacturers go to enormous lengths to tie up deals with developers and their publishers in order to claim one console's superiority over another.
Numerous titles and franchises are only available on Xbox 360 including Gears of War, Halo, and Forza MotorSport.
Now that E3 2009 has come and gone, let's take a look at some more 360-only titles that are scheduled for release in the coming months.
Stay tuned for our PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii exclusives slideshows, both coming soon!
Yesterday was the first time that I've ever seen Jeff doing actual work at his cube, so I relent for once and let him and Wilson talk about E3 2009. Video games, video games, video games on today's show, specifically about the new XBox 360 Project Natal, Halo sequels, new Metal Gear Solid, the Beatles: Rock Band, and even Facebook and Twitter! Wake me up when it's over.

Yesterday's Microsoft press conference at E3 2009 unveiled some pretty exciting video game news, even for an antigamer such as myself. First up is the new Project Natal, the company's new motion-sensing bar for the XBox 360 that allows the gamer to control gameplay with motion, sound, and even 3D movement. As exciting as it sounds, unfortunately Microsoft didn't mention a release date, so we definitely won't see it in stores for Christmas 2009, which Jeff and Wilson think is a bit of a tease.
Aside from a few big game announcements, the big release news comes by way of everyone's favorite British gentlemen, with Beatles: Rock Band. Paul, Ringo, and even a few surprise visitors were there to kick off the game, and although Jeff is decidedly negative about the rise of plastic gaming, the game looks pretty cool. Check out the slideshow for pictures of Christopher "McLovin" Mintz-Plasse and Dhani Harrison taking a crack at the game.
Later on in the show, we announce the FINALISTS for our 404 logo competition. We received over 150 submissions and while they were all fantastic, we can only choose one for the official logo, so be sure to check out the final slideshow above and vote for your favorite in the comments section! Also, don't forget that even if your entry doesn't win the grand prize, we'll still use it for our mosaic/quilt/poster/sticker/shirt/etc...Thanks one million times over and again to everyone that submitted--you guys rule!

The first two installments of Turn 10's Xbox 360-exclusive Forza Motorsport series received some incredibly high marks, so racing fans are pretty stoked to hear that version three is on the way. In October, Forza 3 will hit stores, and it looks as impressive as ever, with a new game engine, "hundreds of cars" to choose from, and a video-editing feature that allows you to create and edit your own driving videos and upload them to the Forza community.
