Not only will Top Spin 4 support PlayStation Move, but its official box art and full roster have finally been revealed. It's an impressive list of stars past and present, including Bjorn Borg, Ivan Lendl, Michael Chang, James Blake, Vera Zvonareva, and Jelena Jankovic. We think those last two might be porn stars, but don't quote us on that. [Operation Sports]
The streets of Liberty City still aren’t safe, but this time it’s not because of renegade Serbian taxi drivers—-it's because the cars are out for justice. A tweak to the handling.dat file on the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 4 can set the game’s vehicles to no friction mode. The result, dare we say, is hilarious Carmageddon. Oops, sorry--CARMAGEDDOOOOOOON! [Break]
Responding to a domestic violence complaint, burst into an apartment to find...a gaggle of gamers playing a boxing game on Xbox Kinect. So if you ever live next door to us, ignore what you think you hear; it's just Kinectimals! [Game Informer]
Valve has announced that Portal 2 will feature cross-platform play between PS3, PC, and Mac users. Players can simply choose which control scheme they prefer most and enjoy an identical multi-player experience available to them. Rumors of console exclusive cake varieties, however, have not been substantiated. [VG 24/7]
Finally, a USB device that adds olfactory immersion to your video game experience! You can edit the ScentScape to release certain smells for specific games. Exploring a lush forest in an RPG? It adds a fresh pine scent to the room! Never mind that our Glade Plugins can do the same thing for three bucks. Maybe the ScentScape will finally be the thing that puts an end to zombie modes in favor of more games involving flowers and freshly baked pie. Mmmm, pie. [Kotaku]
