If you want to get an exclusive car for driving in the upcoming open world racing game Test Drive Unlimited 2, you will get such a chance if you pre-order the Atari-published game via Steam. The PC game download web site is offering Steam users a chance to drive a very sweet ride.

It's the limited edition Italian-built Pagani Zonda Tricolore (shown above in its real world version). It was built to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Italy's Frecce Tricolore aerobatic training squadron. Steam users will also get an exclusive in-game pullover for your driver avatar to wear while driving the vehicle. The game is currently scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2011.

Games sometimes venture into contraversial territory but the upcoming downloadable title Eden could test the limits of what themes games can tackle. MTV's Multiplayer site has posted up some info on the game which is based on Antichrist, a movie that has "extremely sexual and violent imagery"

The article has some quotes from the game's director Morten Iversen who used to work at Io Interactive. Iverson stated that Antichrist's director, Lars Von Trier, "been extremely fond of video games for ages." However even Iversen admits that making a game based on the subject matter of Antichrist will be hard, saying, "It will be a very controversial game, and it'll be a game that doesn't really compare with anything else.""

While Eden is still in its early stages (it's not scheduled for release until 2010) one interesting aspect of the game is that it will ask you what your phobias are and depending on your answer "certain themes will be loaded into the game to challenge you on those phobias." Our big phobia is about sexy bikini models; they scare us a lot.
