For the past couple of years, people who have attended the free QuakeCon event in Dallas have had a chance to win a new Ford Mustang valued at over $50,000 in a lottery sponsored by voice chat software maker Ventrilo. For this year's QuakeCon on August 12-15 in Dallas, Texas, Ventrilo has decided not to offer its attendees a chance to win a Ford Mustang.

Instead Ventrilo is giving away two 2011 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 Coupes (one painted Race Red, the other Kona Blue) each valued at $51,930. 100 tickets for the drawing will be given away in various QuakeCon activities during the show with the final drawing for the Mustangs to be held on August 14 as part of the QuakeCon 2010 tournament finals.

In related news, yesterday's reveal of the "Quake Done Quick" premium tickets were apparently popular. It looks like the 500 $20 tickets for a number of extra privileges at QuakeCon 2010 are now sold out.

Your daily wrap-up of the hottest stories in PC gaming in the last 24 hours.

	Codemasters' GRID launch event Last night saw the official launch of GRID, Codemasters' new muscle-car racer. Held at the swank and historic Hotel Vitale in San Francisco, the launch event featured beautiful women, a full spread of delicious food, martinis -- and five racers competing to win a Ford Mustang GT-R worth approximately $90,000.00.
	Bioshock 3!? What? When? A few months ago, it was announced that BioShock 2 was in developed at the new 2K Marin studio (Levine will have some input, though) for release sometime in Take Two's 2009 fiscal year (which ends Oct. 31, 2009). A deal to make a BioShock film was also announced earlier this year.
	Number Six to appear at NVISION 08 GeForce LAN event Oh baby. There isn't a red blooded male (and we suspect some females as well) who don't like looking at former model and current terrific actress Tricia Helfer. She gained fame for playing the Cylon Number Six (in all sorts of various incarnations) on the Battlestar Galactica remake and she has made an impact on PC gamers with her role as Nod General Kilian Qatar in last year's RTS title Command and Conquer 3.
	Devil May Cry 4 demo now available Devil May Cry 4 for the PC will be available in stores this July. Containing features and options not available in its console brethren, the PC version of DMC4 will contain DirectX 9 and 10 modes, a Turbo mode to increase on-screen action, and Legendary Dark Knight Mode, which adds a significant number of on-screen enemies to increase the game's already considerable difficulty.
	The Sims 2 Apartment Life announced Wow. It was just a month ago when Electronic Arts announced the last Sims 2 expansion but now the publisher has gone ahead and revealed plans for yet another product in their hugely popular people sim family. This time its for The Sims 2 Apartment Life, something which we think a lot of the fans of the game can relate to.
